Got it for $133 shipped with a helmet bag and balaclava.

There's basically the same one I got (different color). It says right there it has a Snell M2005 rating. So that's all I'm going off. I'll post up what I find once I actually get it.

Also I wanted to get a full faced one with Visor, in case I ever hop on a motorcycle, or run a 9.99 haha...

Do any drag strips require a Snell SA rating or are they all ok with M?

[Halon]

I was going off the '08 rule book as I don't have an '09 one.

It basically says anything quicker than 13.99 and you need a helmet. The Snell M rated helmets are allowed.

Then at 9.99 a full face w/ visor is required.

Then at 7.49 is when it needs to be Snell SA rated.

As long as we're showing helmets, here's the same model as the one I bought not long ago. It matches my Kawi Ninja real well. Came with both the mirror shield and clear.

Just an FYI, you really should try helmets on before buying them (maybe you did). If it's too loose it can come off and it sucks wearing an uncomfortable one.

But if your just wearing it to pass inspection you should be fine.

If I drove a motorcycle daily, then I would have been more picky. Considering I'm wearing this thing 3-4 times a year, if it's not the most comfortable helmet ever, I will survive. But every review I've read on them, people loved them.

I've tried on various helmets, not this brand though, and Large is what I felt fit me best, so I just went with a large.

Your talking to a guy who didn't even see, nor test drive, his car before he bought it :)

^ agreed, at least if your riding a motorcycyle. Loose helmets can be dangerous.
