One more thing... since this is your first autocross.... When you get signed in, ask for an instructor to ride along with you for a couple of runs. It will really make a difference.

You won't scratch the paint, I center punched a cone in the S at 85 MPH at the last BMWCCA autocross and it left a nice black rubber mark but it came right off with some rubbing alcohol and a gentle scrub.
There's a motorcycle parts store in carrollton/farmers branch off of I35 near I think valwood/valley view. They have some cheap helmets that will work for around 50 bucks. Just make sure it's DOT rated either M or SA (preferred) and 2000 or 2005 classification.

So, i am set to go!

Good deal, where did you get it?

I believed so. It's say " helmet meet or exceed DOT certification. FMVSS218 certified".

That is not an SA rated helmet. If it is SA rated it will have a tag inside or on the outside that says SA2000 or SA2005. I am not sure on the clubs policy but, most motorsports organizations require an SA rated helmet. No big deal though, the club has plenty of loaner helmets you can use.
oh well, hopefully i can use it
