I don't believe you'll need a helmet..but different tracks have different regulations so I'll find out for sure. Generally helmets are requred for cars running quicker than 14 seconds, and most of us there won't be passing that mark.

Here is a link to the thread at SHOforum with details...you DON'T need to camp out if you don't want, just show up at the strip Saturday morning, 9am!
