Most of you know by now, Amy and I are attending a GT Rally for the first time next week. Whats the dress code for the evening dinners, is a sport coat advised, I have no problem bringing them but dont want to be the only boob with one on. LOL. Daytime at the car show and cruises I assume is shorts... It looks like 80's all week there. Pants and helmets I assume for racing like the other tracks Ive been to. And I assume short black dresses are fine for the wife at night...nothing major. And anything else that we need that would be crucial besides lots of money for craps at night and a bunch of Advil??? Thanks for the help.. Eric
Rally Newbie questions (Dress Code), What to bring??
- Thread starter Doctr V
- Start date
People wear everything Doctr V. Stormcat will wear his formal shorts to the evening functions! LOL. I like to wear a sport coat to dinner. There are a few restaurants that will ask for business casual but often times dressy casual is what the nicer restaurants will ask for. The majority of restaurants will be casual or sporty casual. Our group is as laid back as can be! Be prepared to wear whatever you would like but be prepared to have lots of fun!!!

Comfort first. Style optional. Some are in shorts or jeans for the whole rally. It truly doesn't matter. There is no dress code. You'll see soon enough.

If you like to look good, you will never be overdressed. You'll just look good. Go ahead and raise the bar.
OTOH, many do not look good no matter what. At least their cars look good.

Yeah, I think they documented those in a history book about the 80's.
If shorts and tshirts and sandals aren't OK let me know. This is Vegas.
Wear what you are most comfortable in - but bring a helmet for the track.
I usually wear shorts most of the time, unless there is a particular event that needs something better.

Most tracks have a dress code. Have those rules been posted yet? All require a Snell rated (year varies) helmet some tracks required long pants and closed toed shoes and maybe even a long sleeved shirt and a face wrap if you have a beard. Some also require gloves and a fire extinguisher in the cab. So precisely what are the requirements (a new track day post would be greatly appreciated)
Also what restraints - 3 point belts or 4 or me 5 point harness?
FYI at the Bondurant schools I've been at they did require long pa ts and closed shoes (no sandals or barefoot). No extinguisher

At Miller it was a helmet. No one checked the year. T-shirts & shorts were the most common.
At Laguna 2 weeks ago it was long sleeved shirt, pants, 2005 Snell helmet & fire proof gloves. I wonder if oven mitts are ok?

Wow, looks like a scene straight out of Animal House "Thank you sir, may I have another." I think these guys should be on double secret probation. :facepalm::cheers
