Brian- The Snell rating refers to the year of standards that the particular Helmet you have is at. If you have anything higher than M90(which is what i have), you are good to go. Snell 85 is discontinued. If you look at any NHRA rulebook. Anything Snell M90 or higher is accepted. At some point M90 will be discontinued. So the higher rating you get for a helmet, the longer you will be able to use it.

Drivers of all 13.99 or quicker cars, and co-drivers in 14.00 to 14.99 second cars, must wear a helmet meeting Snell 85, 90,or SFI 31.1,31.2 specs. see general regulations10:7
