Riptide

The above are the requirements of my track. Everyone is supposed to have a helmet. So now I'm in the market.

I'm assuming open face is preferable? I'd like to get something in black that is less than $150. Can someone give me a link? I looked on summit racing and they say nothing about snell rating (whatever that is) or being NHRA approved. Instead they are "DOT" approved.

Thanks

There is a site I have used a few times, craigslist.com. Im not sure if they got exactly what your looking for, but it cant hurt to check.

I would go full face. Look what happened to Dale E because of the open helmet.

Here is a link that might help.... http://www.smf.org/faqs.html

Yeah I read the snell foundation site today.

Seems like most SA 2005 snell rated helmets are kinda spendy though. $150 at summit. Kinda sucks how expensive that is.

These are pretty cheap:

I've used HJC helmets and have no complaints. (Not endorsing these helmets, nor the site. Just found the deal and tryin to help a buddy out)

You need to really go to a store and try some on. What might work for someone, might not work for you.

I have a helmet I would like to sell. Used maybe 3 x while auto x in my 911, at the PCA events. Open face white large PYROTEC, includes tote carry bag. $ 100.00 + shipping. Its a Snell SA 2005 DOT

Go to a motorcycle gear store, and get a decent SN 2005 helment, try them on and get one that fits right. You can get a good one for around $100-120.
