Just got this email
Hey Folks.

Just want to give a heads up to past participants that the track has been booked
and plans are underway for next years honda meet. We are particularly excited
about this year as we are changing the format to a 2 day Weekend event Saturday
& Sunday July 19th-20th.

Details are still being sorted out but registration is on track to open in
November and previous registrants will get first dibs.

Thanks Again for your support in years past and we hope to see you out this year
for our biggest meet to date.

Thanks
WMHM Staff.

if you dont have an S2000 or better helmet dont sign up, they wont let you drive.

I am almost done going to events at gingerman because of the ****ty new management.... long story, and i dont feel like *****ing about it more than i already have today.

Are they getting stricter on tech and registration? I figured a safe car + snell approved 2000+ helmet would be straight. =\

I'm sick of there being little to no track events and then those there are, suck... We should all just sell our **** and get shifter carts... At least we'd actually be racing.

 

[GreyMetallicTeg]

what the wtf!? i was all for going, but now i am kinda skeptic... damn that sucks i guess, i had no problems with my helmet last year at wmhm 7....huh? this sucks.

 

[98integraLs]

yeah it sucks.

cheapest ive found on line for an SA2005 is $150 (google g-force helmet). Really thats not that bad considering it will be good for the next 7 years, when S2015s come out.

w/e, im going either way probably.

 

[DC5_Tuner]

So snell M class helmets aren't approved anymore now?

 

[GreyMetallicTeg]

werd i am going to it wether if i have to get a better helmet

 

[98integraLs]

So snell M class helmets aren't approved anymore now?

yup, the reasoning the track manager gave me was bullshit too. I can understand why they would make the change, but at least do it and have the right ****ing reason to do it and dont try to bullshit it.

 

[DC5_Tuner]

Wtf was their reason? So incase your helmet catchs on fire your face won't get totally burnt off??

Great, I got this helmet not too long ago and now I got to spend $$$ to get another damn helmet when this one is practically brand new.

 

[98integraLs]

it had nothing to with fire protection (which is the main difference between m and s rated) and more to do with the impact testing... which they also apparently didnt know much about.

 

[Acurakid6786]

So what? Just get the sticker in an InDesign file or something and print a few of them off... slap it over the other sticker... bada-bing, you're all done... IMO, if I hit something hard enough that the difference between Snell 2000 and 2005, I'm going to die anyway.

 

[mattinthehat]

hah, nice point acurakid

 

[Acurakid6786]

I try

 

[GreyMetallicTeg]

lol thats the truth i think though... *borat* very nice!

good luck with that.

 

[DC5_Tuner]

That is pretty freaking gay...I might end up just emailing them as registration opens and asking if I can use a M2005 helmet or if I'll have to get a SA approved one. Maybe they'll still accept M but recommend that I invest in a SA?

 

[98integraLs]

the track management would not let teal or dan drive with M helmets... I really dont know how much power chris and the rest of the wmhm organizers will have to go against them with.

look for S2000/SA2000, they will be good for another 2 years and should be much cheaper than a 2005

 

[DC5_Tuner]

Great....

 

[98integraLs]

no worries:

I get to set the requirements for WMHM
