aww i thought it would be pretty sick to have a bunch of RX-7's on the track for the parade lap, seeing as theres a 3rotor in the race
either way it should be sweet to watch!
do you know if they require a helmet for the parade lap? i havent got my conformation email back yet...

In years past helmets have not been required. You won't be moving that fast. Trust me

I'll be going with a few friends. $45 really isn't a lot of money...come on. I'd enter my car in the parade lap, but it'd probably explode.
