22nd ANNUAL DSM/EVO/GTR SHOOTOUT
I apologize if it has already been discussed, but if you are running under a 9.99 what are the helmet requirements/fire suit requirements/shoe requirements? I most likely need to update my safety wear and don't want to buy something that won't be approved.
For example:
1. Would any full-face DOT helmet suffice?
2. What is the minimum SFI rating required for fire suit?
3. Do our shoes have to be fire-rated?
4. Do we need fire-rated gloves?
5. Will gear be thoroughly inspected or is it more of an honor system?
Sorry for the specificity of the questions - I just don't want to run into any surprises. Thanks Dave.

Guys, its been 6 years since I've been to the shootout but we are going to be there this year! We are booked at Best Western right now but I've heard the Norwalk hotels have been dead in the last couple years. 6 years ago Best Western was the party center along with Econolodge.
In the last couple years, where are the before/after track parties happening at? I look forward to drinking beer and talking cars with fellow dsm/evo enthusiasts.

There is no official inspection. This has been put into effect by ME because some people are too ****ing stupid to listen to simple rules, like helmet and jeans. Actually, oddly enough one of your sponsors is the biggest reason they were put into effect.
I Camp at the track each year and we have a great time. Friday night you can watch cars run on the track or even make a few passes your self. I also walk around and talk to other car people most of the night. I have met so many people. I know its a little more low key then the hotels, but its also free.

Ill be staying at the Quality Inn next door to the Motel 6. Econolodge was dead last year. I had a good time hanging out at the Best Western most of the night. Then we managed to get back to the super 8 eventually.
There is tons of people always over at the motel 6 lot. Should be some good times this year for sure, as it always is!
3 weeks!!

Ill be there Thursday afternoon - Super8 would be fine - its across the street from motel6 , as far as i know days inn is also booked.
Looks like I can run Max Effort and one of the Drag Racing categories thanks to the non-conflicting schedule! Question on the drag racing classes, was there a formatting error when the post was last updated? Will there be both of these classes run? just trying to compare the differences between the two, thanks!

No there is no mistake in the classes. The SAT is clearly a full out drag class with gutted tin cans in it and the other is Stock Appearing.
Shootout bound...
The 1st page has a missing bracket in the html code, computers! Figured you might want to edit that.
