Is there anyone who will be at bitburg this saturday who could let me use their helmet to make a few 1/4 mi passes? I just got my car from the VPC today but my helmet is in my household goods :(

This might be a stupid question but I know some of you guys go to every event so maybe you could tell:
Do you think they'd have any rentals first thing saturday morning?
TIA

my car (it has a t/a hatch now)

I am picking up a cheap helmet for a friend for the weekend at ATU. Normally they are around 35euros for an open face cheapie. Or you can rent one.

Yes, Silke just got a new Pile before last month's event, so I think anywhere upto Saturday noon/afternoon shouldn't be a problem ...

Where and what is ATU? Does the track require it to be SNELL or anything?
35 Euro would be a good deal.

Thanks for all of your help guys you rock.

You just have to have ANY helmet, they will not check any standards like SNELL etc.

ATU is the german version of Pep Boys. You can use that interchangibly with that name. For instance: "Looks like that guy wrapped his car in double sided sticky tape and drove through an ATU store."

Where? In most towns...
