Is there a certain helmet that is needed to make a run or can I just use any type of helmet?

Snell 2000 or newer, or M2002 or newer if I am correct.
You can go and pick up a nice HJC helmet for a cheap price and it will be compliant.

Technically that helmet is not legal.
It really depends on who is teching as well and how fast you are really going in terms of if you actually get caught.
IMO just get a newer helmet. Open face SAs are pretty cheap and Ms are always pretty cheap. Only downside to M helmets is that they typically NOT legal for auto-x or circuit tracks.

Yeah I don't know what my car would run.
I'm going to have to get the helmet pretty quick for the free racing in April and for my Bachloer party.
Where does everyone go for their helmet?

I guess this is the question, What is your head worth? When it comes to safety I don't care what it cost, go to behlings in butler, they range from 200 on up.

Ten years ago if you had 500HP you were the man. Now days that means you bought a new car
Last time i went thru tech, the guy said they had to be Snell 2005 or newer.
