caseyctsv Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 What should I look for in a helmet for drag racing? Just DOT approved? It is amazing the range of prices. I do not want to spend too much as I only race about 2x a year but I want to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 how fast are you going? do you have spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 No spray yet - low 12s at 116 for now. High 11s and 120+ in the next year. I do not plan on going much faster than that anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Any rating I should look for? Just DOT-approved or do I need something more? Again I have seen where I can spend a ton here but I think it is unecessary but I want to be safe at the same time. I don't anticipate anything but you just never know!

Buck531 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I paid around $70 shipped for my Snell SA2005 helmet (I think that's what I got). Opened face. I got it from competitionaccessories.com a year or two ago. It was in the bargain page . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 If it was a SA2005 then you stole it, im thinking it a M2005 or the like! hurry go check it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Now that you said M2005.. I bet that's it. It passes Trails inspection and I didn't bring it twice to Marion so it really doesn't matter. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
