Ha! I love showing up at Porsche club events with my Audi wagon. They
usually ask if I'm delivering lunch...and I respond by telling them I'm
there to kick their asses! :)

...I'm never FTD, but then again, I'm never slow time of the day...which
means *someone* in a Porsche is slower than me! :)

With regard to your questions...

- It's not easy to find helmets to test...so I bought a Bell M2 online at
www.ogracing.com.

- tires pressure...I run 44 front/40 rear for autocrossing

- ask the Alfa club for their checklist.

HTH, and have fun!
