Short video clip from Speed. It's a couple of minutes long, so dialup users, be prepared to take a nap.

And, I can't say much, I was 3/4 of the way through my first run in Memphis when I realized the funny banging noise I heard was my helmet rolling around in the back seat, slamming into the side panels. Somehow, I forgot to put it on and the starter waved me off without noticing either. I guess Brian Burdette was working the course and radioed in and said "Uh, guys, don't we need helmets for this event?" As I pulled into the staging area, my cell phone rang, it was my co driver who was working the course. I simply answered "Yea, I'm putting it on".

Maybe that's why it struck a cord with me..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I did similar at a night event. Took off, made the left-hander off the start, and then worked my way through the second-gear slalom. I remember that on the right-hand gates, I had something that kept hitting me in the arm. It wasn't until about the third gate that I realized my helmet was trying to tell me something. I ran the rest of the run holding the helmet at bay in the passenger's seat.

After my run, I was getting out of the car and the safety steward came up saying "We got a call from a corner worker who said he thought you weren't wearing a helmet. Man, I hope you had your helmet on." I looked him in the eye, blinked a couple of times, and said "Of course!" :-)
