excell Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Can I use an M00 Approved Helmet for NHRA 13.99 Helmet requirements? Thanks smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Yeah, you should be fine with that. It must be Snell 90 or higher this year. Most guys are using 00. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Drivers in all convertibles must use a helmet meeting Snell 90, 95, 2000, SFI 31.1, 31.2, 41.1, or 41.2 specs. Drivers in all vehicles with glass T-tops must use a helmet meeting Snell 90, 95, 2000, SFI 31.1, 31.2, 41.1, or 41.2 specs. Drivers in cars running 13.99 (8.59) seconds or quicker, and all dune buggy type vehicles runnning 14.00 (8.60) and slower are required to wear a helmet meeting SNELL 85, 90, 95 or SFI 31.1, 31.2, 41.1, or 41.2 Specs…Effective 1/1/2002 SNELL 85 helmets will be prohibited. A helmet is one of the first safety items that you may need to purchase. Any vehicle that runs faster than 13.99 seconds, and all motorcycles and dune buggy-type cars, must have an approved helmet. Helmets that meet NHRA requirements include those that have a SNELL approval of 90 or 95, as well as those with an SFI rating of 31.1, 31.2, 41.1, or 41.2. Get the point?

excell Posted September 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Well damnit! I need a helmet soon and I don't want to order one online... Anyone know where to get an NHRA Approved Helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest silver91talontsi Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Just goto jegs and tell them you want a helmet approved for the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 M00 and SA00 are the same as snell approved. SA = Snell Approved. M= motorcycle rating, higher than a SA rating. anything 90 and up is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 How can you tell the rating of a halmet? I have a Nolan but I can't find any numbering on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 HELMET RATINGS SA Rated Helmets Snell rated "SA" (Sports Application) professional helmets provide extreme impact resistance and higher fire protection with nomex linings and aluminum impact plates. M Rated Helmets Snell "M" (Motorcycle) rated helmets offer slightly less protection. (Snell rated Helmets) Originally posted by gillbot: According to Belden Motosport, "Snell M2000 is NOT a SA2000 helmet, its just a Snell 2000 Helmet. SA2000 is a Sports Application helmet."
