Helmets

[tim]

Got this off the Rockfalls website for the required ratings.

IMPORTANT TECH UPDATE: Effective 1/1/07 Snell 95 Helmets will no longer be valid for use in drag racing. Please check your helmet and if you have a Snell 95 you will need to replace it prior to competing in any competition at any NHRA sanctioned racetrack. The Snell 95 helmets are expired and no exceptions will be made for use of this model of helmet if you are running 13.99 and quicker in the 1/4 mile or 8.59 in the 1/8th mile. Acceptable helmets are the Snell K-98, Snell 2000 and Snell 2005. Please also remind your fellow racers to check their helmets as well!! Thanks.

This is where a lot of the autocross guys go, and where I got mine. The selection is massive and you can get a basic helmet for very cheap. One guy said he got a full faced snell 2005 for under $100.
Open faced snell helmets from $60 on up.

Oh, and they are local. St Paul just off I94. So if you are in the area you can just go in person and save on shipping, plus you know what the snell rating is. When I was there I think he said all of his helmets were Snell2005 but I wouldnt order online without verifying that.

Most motorcycle stores online will have some cheaper selections. Check out denniskirk.com too.

I'm thinking about pickin this one up. Would be cool if I have a few hundred to blow. Nice and light weight.

I was also going to recommend Bob's cycle supply. Pick something up there on clearance. Dennis Kirk is usually too expensive, but they do have a clearance center if you are heading north on I-35. Ebay is also great, I have bought a few helmets off there.

HJC makes nice, but decently priced, motorcycle helmets.

I got my open faced helmet for dirt at bob's, but i plan on doing off roading too.
Um, i have a hook up on helmets, i have to check the price, but i am sure no higher than $60, they are some name brand, my friends dad got them from someone at work, he bought like 6-8 of them thats why they are so cheap.
I will grab a few if some of you are interested, brandon hit me up when you are back home i will get one for you.

I'm back in for a day, But if you have any pics, send em to me! Otherwise I'll just hit you up in like 2 weeks when I get back.

ok, well i am getting them from my buddy, looking at $50 per helmet i think, hopefully when he gets here he tells me cheaper, but last time they were $50.
They are brand new.
