I assume the ones from the group buy are good for drag/auto-x etc since you said motorsports.

Just making sure I am getting what i need for when i go to the track.
The motorsports helmets are SA-rated which is required for competitive road racing, karting, etc. where M-rated helmets (motorcycle) do not cut it.

I believe the primary difference is that SA rated helmets are fire proof, and designed to withstand impact on a roll cage bar.
