Buck531 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 So I just found out that my Snell 2005 helmet expired January 1st 2017. Would I be able to get a way with using it being trails has new ownership? That being said if that doesn't work anyone have a helmet I can borrow that'll fit my fat melon head?

Buck531 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I've never heard of trails renting helmets.. But then again I've always had my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Yes they rent helmets until they run out. On a track day rental I am not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hide helmet, tell them the car is stock, then get it back out when they walk away. After they tech you, they never check again. Hell the helmet ive used for 10 years isnt even close to legal lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewtoys Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just buy a new helmet? Why fuck around with something that could potentially save your life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just buy a new helmet? Why fuck around with something that could potentially save your life? Sorry man but I gotta agree. Helmets are not expensive. If $100-150 or so for a legal helmet that's certainly on sale or clearance somewhere is too much, then wow.

zeitgeist57 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 If someone could find the cheapest, SNELL and DOT-certified helmet, I'd appreciate it as well. (Meaning, if you guys say there are $100-150 helmets, please show me one that guys recommend). I've got a Simpson that was expired last track day...

STEVE-O Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 CL has some good deals on snell approved helmets as well if you don't want to buy new but there is plenty of time for eBay and other outlets as well before the track day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRTurbo04 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Another option if you don't want to buy another helmet is when you Tech in, borrow someones helmet that is up to spec and then after tech just use yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Thanks Anthony, I bought this one, comes with a blue iridium shield too. Looking it up the CL-17 is M2010 certified. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone sent me a pic of captain America above, doing mustang things. Rocking a helmet in traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Ha Ha! I have a few times, to get used to it. I'm sorry, I fail to see how this affects you in ANY way. At 42, don't really care if anyone FEELS it's inappropriate. And by doing "Mustang things"? Like driving home from work with traffic passing HWY Patrol, not getting tickets? I will say this, I had a $1400 medical bill for the extraction of a piece of metal in my left eye driving a vert last year. I usually wear sunglasses now. And since some ass hat is throwing rocks off overpasses in the city this week, it's most likely not a bad idea. Thank you for your concern. And Happy Father's Day.

And since some ass hat is throwing rocks off overpasses in the city this week, it's most likely not a bad idea. Thank you for your concern. Not sure if I ever posted it, but last fall I had a 4.5lb rock get thrown into our minivan in a construction site while my entire family was in the car heading back from Easton. The Safelight guy said stock windshields are designed to prevent 5lbs from penetrating. That's the good news. Bad news is all of us were showered in splinters of glass from head to waist. If it wasn't for the fact that I make the kids wear sun glasses and I always where them in the car (wife needs glasses so she was safe), we would have likely wrecked and all been sent to the hospital. FWIW kids under age 21 do are far more susceptible to the negatives of sunlight than adults. I work in the Eye Car business and can say that while I won't wear a helmet, I will always and do always wear some type of eye protection in a car, on a bike. I never really "believed" in doing so but I knew what I have been taught. Thankfully that day, I had them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
