I will be leaving work in Milwaukee at around 5pm. I have a feeling GLD is going to be a zoo. I'm also going to pick up a new helmet tomorrow morning in Milwaukee. I'm pretty sure the helmet I've rented was an old motorcycle helmet and their website doesn't say anything about SA2005 or anything else.

Yeah with nice weather I'm sure it'll be packed. I don't think they are concerned what kind of helmet you have, as long as it's in good shape that's all that matters.
Just stop by sportland 2. They are just off the Rawson Rd exit of 94. They usually have a large selection of helmets. They are motorcycle helmets but you should not have a problem with them.Originally Posted by realsquash
I am going to try Pegasus Racing in New Berlin today for a helmet. But I'm not racing tonight because I woke up with a flat tire! There is a huge screw right between the tread blocks so I don't know if it can even be fixed.

Sure it can be fixed, you can plug it or patch it as long as it's not in the sidewall. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain, so today is the day to go.
Well I took the truck to work and the tire can't get patched up until tonight after work... I'm just going to give up hope for racing this weekend. My blower shipped and I have brakes to install so I might as well get to tearing it apart!

Ok no problem, maybe we can go another time. Next friday is out though, I'm going to see the Cardinals beat up the Brewers at Miller Park.
Hey folks, did anyone make it to GLD for opening weekend? I have given up trying to go opening weekend, because it is usually a zoo. Tons of cars, long lines, poor traction, and lots of waits for oildowns and broken cars. I have arranged my schedule to go for the first time on Wednesday April 14, and then possibly again on Wednesday April 21. Any chance any of you might make those dates? I hope to see some other G8s there!
