Getting ready to head to the track for the first time in several years. Back in the day it seemed no one checked helmets and we just ran what we had laying around the garage.
I am now a little older and wiser but my budget is about the same aka not much. Anyway I am in the market for a helmet.
My car should run low 12s high 11s. I was looking at open face vs full face. NHRA rule book says you can use any helmet that meets Snell SA2005, M2005 or newer. I have a dirt bike helmet that meets this criteria so I should be able to make it out there but would like dedicated drag race helmet. Looking at Jegs website I see G Force , Racetech, and Simpson as being the major brands of auto racing helmets
Any other suggestions or advice? Thanks
