Re: helmets?

depending on the track you don't need one untill you run 13.99 or 13.49 or faster. I thing 13.49 is nhra and 13.99 is just some tracks rules

Re: helmets?

The time i've been to the track (didn't race) I go with my car club, and I could always borrow one from one of the other guys, but I don't need to....yet..

Re: helmets?

I do, the lane boss said not to come back unless I had one after running multiple 8.5x runs lol. And as per NHRA rules, it must be Snell rated, either 2000 or 2005.

I have an RCI that is a Snell 2005. My wife gave it to me for Christmas this year :rock:

She got it from Summit, $145

Re: helmets?

I usually wear mine when I race, unless it's hot as hell. I take my ATV helmet and take the sun visor off and race with it. DOT Approved, haven't had them say anything yet.

Re: helmets?

Re: helmets?

$70 is not bad...when I googled it the first store had em for like $700 lol

I was starting to rethink the mods I wanna do....

Re: helmets?

BTW, my track let me borrow a helmet with my driver's license. I give them my driver's license, they hold on to it and give me a helmet. After the race, I give the helmet back and get my license back. One huge drawback is that it's not hygienic. Summer time = 90 degrees = sweat from people's head = ...

Re: helmets?

The cheapest Snell rated helmet I could find was mine and it was $145. I've never seen one that was $70

Re: helmets?

You can get Snell ones I think in the $80 range... I have a motorcycle helmet bought it used for $25 LOL...

only really used it in autocross... and the couple times I took the vette down the track.
