This being my first auto-x event to participate in and be at. I had a few questions regarding what you need for the event.
-Dot approved Helmet
-The registered number placed on vehicle. Im curious about this I was told by a friend that its supposed to be placed on the doors. I thought maybe windows would work or does event provide the entries with there own numbers. (If so how do people do this?)
Anything else I might be missing? I dont know if Driving gloves would help I have some that might work.
Sorry but Im new to this
Thanks

Loaner helmets are available, but its nice to have your own (They get really wet in this heat). You can make or buy magnetic numbers, but either paper numbers or shoe polish for the windows will be provided. Driving gloves are not needed. Other stuff to remember:
-Completely clean out your car. You will have to remove floor mats, and your center caps on the wheels if you have them. You will also want to remove the spare and jack. Also make sure your car is in good working order.
-Bring sunblock, I can't stress that enough. I get burned at every event because im an idiot and never bring any. Even if its cloudy I still manage to get burned.
-Bring water or something to drink, it gets hot. You can bring your own lunch, but you'll also have time to run to a fast food joint.
-You will be required to work, just in case you didnt know that. They will go over that there though.
-A folding chair is never a bad thing to have.
-You need a tire gauge. You will want to run higher pressures then you do on the street. Are you running your street tires, or will you be changing them there?
-Get there early to walk the course. Being your first event, you'll want to walk it as many times as possible so you can learn the course.
Thats about everything I can think of off the top of my head. If you have any questions at the event feel free to ask me. I have the 91 red Sentra SE-R.
Oh, I almost forgot, make sure you have plenty of hamster food.
