ok. questions. What exactly goes on at the test n tune part of the day? Do I just walk up and pay my $30 or do I sign up online? What do the letter/letters in between snell and 2000 mean. Say snell SA200 and Snell M2000. Are either ok. Sorry I'm very confused. I'm thinking of coming up Sunday. I want to come up saturday for beginers training but I can't get it off work. Sounds like fun though.

I think the Saturday school last year was a great expierence and would recomend it for anyone that has not driven on a course of any kind. I found that I didn't fully push my car as hard as I thought I could and that meant I had a bunch of room for improvment! I cant wait for the season to start!!!!!!

Key differences between SA and M Rated Helmets (from Snell website):
SA standard requires flammability test while the M standard does not.
SA standard has rollbar impact test while M standard does not.
SA standard allows narrower visual field than M standard (Some SA helmets aren't street legal).
