I'm going down my checklist for needs before the run, and I just figured I'd ask you guys and maybe some seasoned pros might be able to shed some tips.
I'm in need of a fire extinguisher. Where can I find one for a decent price that will actually keep my truck from burning to the ground? And what else am I missing?
I know I need DOT approved helmets, but is there anything else that makes life a little but more nice?

On the fire extinguisher, call WSI and get a quick release mount. It comes with band clamps to secure the fire extinguisher to the removable mount. I dont think its on their website. I bought a fire extinguisher from auto zone and the bolted the quick release mechanism to the underside of the drivers side rear door arm rest.
If you want to get a helmet, either get an open face or a closed face with race air capability. Dont make the mistake of getting a closed one like I did. It got super hot at texas raptor run. But. I like the look of the closed face helmets. So I got a new helmet and the rear vent race air system from SDHQ. This way you can have a climate controlled helmet. Sweeeeet!
Here are the links:

Even with the air on max, I was burning up in my full face helmet. I know this set-up right here will work awesome. It will make the lap much more enjoyable! Hope all this helps.
