I'm still relatively new to the club, so I don't know all that much about the event.

What are the rules for the track day? I looked over the event on their webpage but didn't really see any rules / requirements other than you have to be 18.

Do we need helmets since its a paced lap?
How fast is a paced lap? (not a huge nascar buff lol)
Are passengers allowed?
Can we strap a go-pro to the car?

I only ask since its a little bit of a ride from Albany to find out I needed to have $100s invested in helmets.

Thanks!

I will be traveling along the Southern Tier Expressway if anyone from Chautauqua, Cattaraugus or Allegany Counties wants to follow (or Lead). I expect to leave Franklinville at Noon, and should be getting to the gates the same time as everyone coming down from the north. Let me know so that we can set up meeting points along the way.

No helmets, passangers are allowed, strap as many go-pro's on as you want, depending on the pace car and the weather, we have hit 100-130 on the track, if you dont feel comfy going that fast, average lap speed can take you up to around 70-80, its all about having a good time, we are not racing, just cruising around the track
