<![CDATA[Helmets]]>Just curious where I can get a helmet for drag racing. I know that the tracks look inside to check specs. What specs are they looking for and how much can I expect to spend?

I am going to have it painted the same color as my car (daytona Blue) then get some custom paint done. I was playing around with some ideas last night. let me know what you guys like better.

i personally like the snail

When you go to BIR the drag strip tech should be the exact same as IDR. When I went for the HPDE they did not even tech cars or look at helmets.

then no, do not get a motorcycle helmet.
I believe you can go back 2 steps on the Snell rating (I think Snell 2000 is the current limit).

Avoid the SUOMY brand.

If so id check out Umotors for one locally, or just get one online?
