So your car runs 10's or 11's, that's impressive. You'll need a rollbar/cage for that, not just a helmet. And some of the tech inspectors there aren't stupid. They know a general area of what a car should run and will ask you if you have a helmet.

...also, the helmet will have to be Snell 2000 and DOT approved.

And even if you have an 11 second car, if this is your first time at the track, I'll be impressed if you even crack into the 12s. Track and street are two totally different animals.

mmmmk,a small percentage of cars on this website run low low 12's or better..there is no safety involved in a 13,14,and 15 second car.

and saftey is spelled safety.

I have ran my car at other strips not here in Virginia and have made numerous 11 second passes so its not my first time, but at these tracks they would give you a few "free" passes without a helmet. Even if you had a 11 second car at these tracks they didnt require a cage. But thanks a lot everyone for all of the information! I might check out Richmond since they dont require a cage. I can live with a helmet.

Richmond probably requires a cage too if you're that fast.

What kind a vehicle do you drive?
