Not my finest out-lap that's for sure, but it focused me for the rest of the session and I set my fastest time yet with 1:36.3 on R-S3 street tires.
An amazing day at the track, a recap video to follow!

Nice catch! Bet that's a fun track. Is that an HJC AR 10 ii I see? I have one of those!

An SI-12 actually!
It's gotten pretty beat up over the last couple of years (just minor scratching) so I may move on to the Stilo ST4 next...

I like to joke about buying that AR10 - "cheap brain, cheap helmet." I am considering a Simpson R3 though, since race seats and harnesses aren't a possibility for my car.

lol - I wasn't eluding to cheap brain, cheap helmet. The AR10 protects just as well as the SI-12 or the ST4. On certain levels, a helmet is a helmet.
My reason for looking towards carbon was just to try an minimize a bit more weight, although I haven't confirmed it yet since this is likely a winter purchase.
The weight of your head + helmet is what acts on you during an impact. We've seen at least one death here from a non-halo seat in a side impact even though a HANS was worn.
So my goal for 2014 is to start the season with the halo seat and HANS that I already have, plus a CF helmet and nets on both sides. I already love my Schroth Profi belts and I'll be keeping those.
Next up might be completing the cage!
