Author Topic: Haven't been to the track in a while ... what else do I need? 98Snake ¯ Member # 183 posted                              Whats up guys, I never needed anything else except a helmet, but my car now has a vortech ... so besides a helmet, will the techs at Sac give me any trouble without a rollbar/cage? Driveshaft loop? (Assuming I'll even be able to break 12's ) Thanks!

If your car is a vert then you will need a rollbar.

They have checked to see if my battery was secure or not though. -------------------- Heather '91 GT Posts: 1477 | From: Citrus Heights, CA | Registered: Mar 2001  |  : BlackNGold CaliforniaFords.com Moderator Member # 655 posted                              Bring some ice(for your intake), tire pressure gauge and check all your fluid levels (oil & water)before you hit the track....

Defintely bring ICE for the intake, blower and pipe... I noticed the difference. Dont forget the helmet and warm-up the tires good. -------------------- RPM Racing Team -96 Cobra.
