When I started, I was told OSP is was a catch-all class where you can do whatever you want as long as the car runs on DOT R compound tires and was registered for the street at one time. It doesn't have to be presently registered.

In the past there were gutted starlets running in OSP. The cars were practically built for the Prepared class, but didn't want to run on non-DOT racing tires. So, in short, you do not need to have passenger seats. But, you won't be able to give any rides

Damn it. I'm short one passenger seat. But the car is also plated. I wonder if I can sneak by or borrow a seat.

You can probably still run in the class. You don't have to run for points. Besides, most don't care if you run the class illegally.....until you start beating people

Hopefully you and Noel will come out still. You two should come out in the RS and beat Isaac, Karlton, and Rich in SM.

right on. I'll see you guys on Sunday I'll be in a blacked out bugeye with Work CR KAIs and pink decals on them. My wheel / tire setup is definitely not auto x apropriate but again I only plan on doing this for fun. I do have a sweet Perrin battery tie down. (the stock one corroded all the way through)

So I stopped by Helmet City in Oakland today to purchase a helmet and they ended up being closed.

Is there a place in San Jose that's open or can I just rent a helmet at the event?

There is a limited supply of loaner helmets at the event. You just have to leave your license in the RV in exchange for the helmet.

If you still want to get your own helmet, you can go to any place that sells motorcycle helmets. Just make sure the helmet is a SNELL approved helmet.

Car ran fantastic, felt really good.

Justin was there, spun out on one of his first runs, but was running crazy fast by the end of our session.

It was hard to miss Justin. While driving to get his car on grid, he forgot to secure the hood and it flew off flipping in the air a few times
