I think some tracks are different. The track near me in Texas requires a helmet for drag cars and cars in a different class (i.e. drags, extremely sooped up cars etc..) , but not for stock or fairly modded out street cars. Check with your track before you make any purchases.

As far as helmets and price,I know you want a reasonably priced one but after all how much do you think your brain and /or life is worth?

i know at Cecil County Dragway in Maryland you have to wear a helmet if your car runs faster than 13.99 in the quarter. Most 99-04 GTs with a couple bolt -ons should be there

come on guys,, if you dont have facts, dont post

99.9 % of tracks will require a HELMET at ANYTHING better than a 14.0

some will let it slide, some wont, but according to their rules, you have to have a helmet if you touch 13's at all

Just go get some helmet, as long as the tech isnt stringent, or your car isnt running REAL quick, most any kind of helmet will do
