So I imagine that for the first level and until the HPDE Director can see you drive you will require an instructor (even if it is just one time) and instructors will not get in a roadster w/o protection, so a dual hoop will be the minimum required.

if your helmet (must SA 2005 or SA 2010 full face for roadster) hits the hoops then you will need SFI padding.

Arm restraints are a good thing to use (required), they are cheap ($20) and will save your arms if in a roll over, I would not go on the track w/o them (I can't but if I had the choice I would always use them).

A HANS (or equivalent device) is optional and are expensive ($500), I have mixed feelings about this, I use one even though its optional in ICSCC and mandatory in SCCA and NASA. These things are a pain to use but do provide great protection.

If you have seat belts that SFI or FIA approved then the date must be valid, so 2 years on SFI and 5 years on FIA.

Sound level, you will be bound by the different track db levels, the lowest is Mission @ 95 but NASA is not running there in year 1 so you will have the lowest limit of 98 db so you will need to make sure that you are under this level.

Other than that you should be good to go, given that you go through the safety check (brakes, lose items out, mirrors, etc.)
