Check out page 41 of the March edition (you can see it on the website) and let me know if you read it the same way I do.

I'm headed out to the tail; otherwise, I would be there. We should have plenty of other opportunities in May to go head-to-head.

In your case, the use of a shield may become a personal preference. I don't use a shield (don't like them) but I have suffered from occasionally getting dirt in my eyes at speed (track events). If you find that this becomes an issue, by all means install a shield.
Looks like you may have to mod the helmet. On the sides, it has that black circle with BELL written in it. Looks like a hard piece of plastic. That is usually where the shield mounts to the helmet. On the other hand, it does look like there is a small felt strip along the outside of the face opening, which is usually there to allow a soft fit for the shield.

i doubt i clear the broomstick rule, and ill be always tracking/autoX'ing the car w a hardtop, and probably closed windows, so its really not a big deal.
i dont plan to spend hours in the car at times so i will give it a shot at my first event, and see how it goes from there

Hi,
Those are just caps which live in the socket that the Faceshield hingepins fit into. It just pops out...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
