So I
may have forgotten that my girlfriend and I are taking a road trip to North Carolina on the day of the race, so I cancelled my registration. She looked so disappointed when I was thrilled and exclaimed that I signed up for my first race. Ooops.
Anyways, I did go to a local rally shop today and ordered my first helmet, a Bell M4. I picked the owner's brain for some time, and soon should be getting a skid plate fabricated or bought, along with mudflaps. That should keep the car in ok shape for a little while at least.
