I think you need a helmet if your running 10's <-I think. If you have a helmet available I would bring it and use it. You never know what can happen with that guy in the other lane. Better to have and not need than to not have and need it.

Hi Matt! I've never been to that track but at my local track was a helmet required anything faster than 13.0.

Yes bring a helmet. They are strict there, and don't expect too many runs

Yeah I am kinda pi$$ed about the front plate. I specifically told the dealer DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INSTALL THE FRONT PLATE when I ordered the car, and he was all "no problem!" then it's on there when I went to pick up the car. It's getting removed ASAP.

People on FocusST.org are discovering that the plugs are gapped wrong from the factory, and regapping the plugs or installing new, properly-gapped ones seem to help reduce the exhaust soot.

As for the brakes, my 2014 apparently has updated less-dusty brakes.

Aw yeah, I'd say they're definitely more comfortable than the stang's seats.

Looking good man! Sorry to hear the stang left the stable but it's been a number of years so I can see why the need for something different.
