In a hardtop you would need a helmet and if you run slicks you will need a driveshaft safety loop.

I think the basic rules should cover you just fine.
I've never had any problems there as they don't seem to be too picky.

Just checking cuz my buddy went up to Sac and i thought he said that at tech the Snell rating had gone up from 95? This was a few weeks ago?
Could you clarify for me....thanks.

I used a snell 95 three weeks ago, they said nothing about it.
About the slicks, does the drive shaft loop rule apply to DOT approved tire (et streets, QTPs)?
