Class, Number, Helmet

Hi everyone!
I ran in a few autoX events back in 2012 for the first time. Had to leave when 2013 rolled around, but I'm back now and excited to start up again. Even dug up my original 2011 Cal Club forum login credentials! I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can answer for me:
1) I have a Miata ND RF with aftermarket sway bars on the front AND rear. From what I can tell, this bumps me into "Street Touring STR." Does that sound about right?
2) Also, I used to run with number 701. I'd like to order magnetic numbers and would like to know if 701 is still available or taken? I clicked the "Points Card Listings" link on the Cal Club "Get Started in 8 Easy Steps" web page, but this just takes me to a Google Docs/Sheets page that says the file has been deleted. Does anyone know how I can check what numbers are available currently?
3) Finally, I'm looking for a light, open face helmet south of $550. I found the G Force Nova OF – SA2020 is 3 lbs. Does anyone know of a helmet lighter than this that they like? This one seems to be one of the lightest I've seen after a few days of searching. I also like the look of the Pyrotech Pro Airflow Open Face Carbon SA2020, but was surprised to read it is 7 lbs.
If I can get a helmet in time, I hope to see you all April 10th if there is still room to register. If not, I'll be out there the following months for sure!
Thank you,
Steve
