...that I probably already know the answer, but...
Is it necessary to buy a back protector for a beginner track day? It says it in the BoMo rules, but I've heard that they're not real strict with it. I know I can't put a price on protecting my spine, but I just bought a track bike, I have to buy tires and the expense of everything else associated with a track day, is my foam pad in my jacket good enough for a beginners day?
Not real interested in hearing the litany of "can you put a price on safety" just want to know if it's something that is strongly enforced or more like a personal decision type of thing to wear one.
Thanks.
