Rocky31186 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Might be in the wrong section, IDK.. Ive been looking for an approved track helmet. (Just in case my tank gets out of the 14's) :gabe: With trails opening april 1st. I found this one at summit, does anyone know one for sale local, or know of another place to buy one? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/VMS-252116/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0nk3y Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Are you required to have SA rated or would M be enough? If you can go with M (assuming all you're going to be using is at the drag strip) then you can cut that price in half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Not sure if it helps but Iron Pony always has a huge selection of cheaper helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I think it has to be SA2005 or SA2010. I went to iron pony and they didnt have any that I could find, SA helmets.. And the guy at the counter had no idea what I was talking about.. Last year I just used my DOT motorcycle helmet and didnt have an issue.. but I dont want to pay and drive all the way to the track to be denied because of my helmet.. I could always pull the... .....JEEP LOL, No 13.99.... Until I run of course.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I pulled this off some website while looking for a helmet as well. Drivers of NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and E.T. cars (13.99 or quicker) must use a helmet meeting Snell SA2000, M2000, SA2005, M2005, SA2010, M2010, or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, 31.1/2005, 41.1A, 41.2A, or 41.1/2005 Specs. Drivers in supercharged, frontengine, open-bodied cars and Funny Cars must wear a helmet meeting Snell SA2000, SA2005, SA2010, or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, or 31.1/2005 Specs. See Class Requirements. Structural modifications to helmet/shield are prohibited. Cutting of helmet or helmet shield prohibited. Helmet must remain as manufactured, except for paint scheme/graphics and permitted nonstructural driver modifications to helmet shield as set forth below. Taping or similar modifications to the helmet shield made by the driver that reduce the driver’s field of vision, and are deemed safe by driver in the driver’s judgment, are permitted at this time so long as the driver can demonstrate to technical inspectors that the purpose of the modification is to reduce distraction in the driver’s field of vision. By using such a modification to the helmet shield, the driver acknowledges and agrees that the driver deems such modification safe in the driver’s judgment consistent with the driver’s obligations in Section 1, Participant Agreements and Administrative and Procedural Rules, set forth above, and that the modification does not impair or interfere with the safe operation of the driver’s vehicle. See General Regulations 7:8. NHRA Helmet Expiration Dates Section 20, page 41 General Regulations Label Expires Snell 2000 1/1/2012 Snell 2005 1/1/2017 Snell 2010 1/1/2022 SFI 31.1A 1/1/2014 SFI 31.2A 1/1/2014 Label Expires SFI 41.1A 1/1/2014 SFI 41.2A 1/1/2014 SFI 31.1/2005 1/1/2017 SFI 41.1/2005 1/1/2017 SFI 24.1 (JDRL only) 1/1/2015 SFI 24.1/2005 1/1/2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Anyone know if you can run M2005,2010... Or does it have to be SA2005, as in NON motorcycle helmet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Anyone know if you can run M2005,2010... Or does it have to be SA2005, as in NON motorcycle helmet... Up until this year since mine is expired, they never said a word about my M2000, and I was out there a lot in years past. I really don't think you'll have an issue.

Rice Eater Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Mine which also expired this year is a m2000 motorcycle helmet, the difference between "m" and "sa" is that "sa" has a fire retardant liner in case you are trapped in a burning vehicle in an accident. Never took it to Trails but always fine at KilKare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never took it to Trails but always fine at KilKare. SA can withstand multiple impacts (aka in a rollover) where M helmets only can withstand 1 where the shell is compromised.

Cordell Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I just picked up a full face M2010 from Iron Pony for $89.99, oh yeah. It fits better then the one I have for my motorcycle so I should get a lot of use out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yeah that's where I got mine. Although I got a 2xl and not a 3xl. So I should sell it and get a 3xl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
