FYI - not sure it others were concerned but I noticed the CCR's were recently updated and confirm as expected that SA2010 helmets can be used until 2022.. Personally I was questioning if I needed a new helmet or not this year, not sure if others were too

15.17.3 Helmet
All drivers are required to wear a properly fitted and secured helmet while on track. Helmets must be approved by Snell and carry a sticker of Snell SA2010, EA2016, or newer*. Ratings other than that of “SA” (Special Application), (e.g. M2005, M2010, or CMR2007), are not acceptable. *Alternatively, helmets with an FIA certification of FIA 8859-2015, FIA 8860-2010, or FIA 8858-2010 or newer are acceptable. It is strongly recommended that any helmet sustaining any substantial impact be replaced. Helmet standards will increase for the 2022 year, and it is expected that a Snell SA rating of 2015, or higher, will be required.

I was thinking about this today, some other organizations have their regulations changing mid-year this year. Thanks for the info!

The rule of thumb isn't so much by year, rather SA2010 is good until SA2020 comes out, SA2015 until SA2025 comes out, and so on.

Will the dyno be available at MSRH? I saw last years post saying it was available there last year and also Cresson. Will they have the official dyno forms as well or do I need to bring with me? I didnt see it on the rules site, or as an appendix in the rules ect.

The dyno at MSRH should be available for your annual dyno, that is what I’ve used the last 5+ years.

The dyno form is usually at the back of the CMC rules but we were informed last week that it was not there. We are working with NASA to get them to update the rules to include it.
You do need to bring a form with you so if NASA does not update it within the next week let me know and I can email you the form we used last year which will be acceptable.

If you're going to try to dyno at the track, it's better to have an appointment set up ahead of time. It can/does get busy on opening weekend and if they have any issues the line can get backed up.

I took your advice and called to make an appointment. They said the dyno will be going non-stop Thursday thru Sunday first come first serve. IDK if the backlog could potentially cause you to miss a track session or not. For me, its not critical anyways until after comp school whenever that may be.

I used the 2020 sheet, page 20.

Just a heads up, they made some changes to Hwy 288 since last year.

The flyover from Beltway 8/Sam Houston Tollway heading east onto 288 south is now open, and same going the other way (left exit).

The left turn (heading south) to get to MSR-H from 288 at the flashing yellow light is no more. You now have to either A.) go down another 1/4-1/2 mile or so and make a U-Turn from the left lane that then feeds you into your own lane onto the northbound 288 where you then merge and get over to the right lane to turn into MSR-H or B.) take the next exit Business 288 and take two lefts at stop signs under the overpass.

Probably not a big deal to most of you, but I know I hate surprises. I'm sure some of you guys with the bigger rigs might want to know. If it was already like this last year, then consider this a reminder.

Definitely new since last year, thanks for the update Gary!!

This change caught me out pretty bad last year, I thought I forgot the way to my closest track in the morning darkness.
