You can register here, they havn't opended it for the one on the 17th yet though. I was thinking about the 11th, but DaveVM made a good point about it being mothers day. I am going to start planning to go on the 17th instead.
Oh yeah, I was asking about helmets and somebody suggested this website.... he said he got this helmet from there which meets the requirements laid out in the rules.
I got my helmet from Blackfoot and they have about 300 to choose from. I got the least expensive/noob/douche looking one with an open face as I needed one for Racecity.
Mine is just simply black and was 85$

So I ended up ordering a helmet online, I went into Bow Cycle and looked around. I asked for some help & found a helmet for 199$. Was apparently the cheapest SNELL rated helmet they have. I figured hey, what the heck, despite online helmets being cheaper for the help and instant gratification I will just get it here....
...So they went into the back, got me a helmet in the size I wanted.... and then told me all of the cheap helmets were actually priced wrong. The 199$ helmet (also the one on Blackfoot direct for 143$) was actually 289$.... ....
"Yep, you have to spend at least 300$ for a SNELL rated helmet" she said as I looked around at 4 or 5 other people who apparently were trying on helmets that weren't priced wrong.... only ALL the helmets I was looking at were priced incorrectly.
MEANWHILE, another guy from that SASC forum said he only paid 180$ for a SNELL rated helmet AT Bow Cycle.
Anyway, at that point I was starting to feel like they were trying to take advantage of me so I said I was going to poke around more before I committed to buying one. The experience has left me with a bitter taste, however I at least figured out which size I needed while I was there.
Anyway....
And presenting the 143$ SNELL rated helmet I bought online for local pickup

thanks, I had a choice between that and a plainer black one for the same price. AutoX is already crazy, I figured I might as well look the part
According to the rules you need a SNELL 2005 rating or better to participate in the SASC event. They won't accept DOT or the SNELL 2000 rating from what I understand.
