Racing Helmet


What kind of helmets or brands of helmets do yall use for drag? My track helmet has to meet Snell 95 specifications does anyone know where I can get a helmet that meets this?

I got a HJC last year. I use it for snow mobiling and its good for the track. Just change the lenses and add a mouth guard, all of about $45. You wont find a cheaper helmet thats such good quality.

I actually think I have the same helmet that's posted. Any place that sells helmets will tell you if they are Snell '05 approved or just DOT approved. Pretty sure every track is going to require a Snell approved helmet

Yea I was going to get that bell today but it is only dot approved and not snell, so I had to op for the more expensive one but I still got a good deal on it. It is a bell vortex.
