I will be there, there are total of 7-8 evos that will be there when I was checking the list. Watkins is about 4 hours from NYC.

Yeah and practically all the evos are white....like mine.

I didn't see any spare helmets last year. You are better served borrowing a helmet from someone you know or break down and buy one. You are going to be wearing this for 2 hours a day and you want to make sure that it fits nice.

What have you guys done to prep your cars? Also maybe this should be moved to motorsports instead of general.

Buy your helmet. Last time I was at Pocono's you had to put down a $150 deposit and pay like $30 to use their helmet. So I jumped online and got me one of those G-Force SA2000 helmets ($150).

You don't have to prep much but here's what I'd do and bring with me:

- tire pressure gauge (check pressure before and after every run)
- tool box (you never know)
- spare set of brake pads (make sure your current ones have enough meat)
- cell phone

- remove exhaust manifold heat shield and that vent louvre on the hood
- remove all unnecessary **** from the car
- bleed brakes and/or put in new fluid
- if you have a lot of miles and haven't already done so, do an engine coolant flush
- check your oil level (or change it if it has lots of miles on it) and possibly bring some extra oil.
