The approved Helmets are still in effect as written in the CT Rule Book, same as 2009 (no changes.) We are going to phase out the M Helmets, M2000, M2005. The M Helmet will still be good for 2010, but not legal for 2011. We are giving you a year notice to get a new helmet if you have a M helmet. The reason for this is M helmets were tested for side crashes, not head-on crashes, and our tech inspector feels that other approved helmets would be safer for you. Just thinking of your safety! The new 2010 CT Rule Book is now posted.
We are getting calls regarding marking your pits. Yes, we know we set a date for marking your pits and many of the pits are marked. We could not control people marking their pits early. We will not tear these down unless they are in the way of the bulldozer when we come down to build the Python. We are sorry to the people that waited, there is still plenty of room in the Main Pit, there are two (2) u-shape areas, just keep moving down to the 2nd u-shape area, there will be room for you. We are asking people to only take one vehicle into the front row, park all of your additional vehicles behind you in a second row.
