Helmet Recommendations?
OK, not sure where to post this since there is no racing/auto-x section on this site. I've signed up for an auto-x school that's happening next month. I know that I've got to wear a helmet to get on the course. Does anyone here have any recommendations? Open face, full face?
I've got a hunch that once I go to this auto-x, I'm gonna be addicted. I'll probably end up going to VIR or something down the road as well (I can feel my wallet shrinking as I type...) I know that the event loans out helmets... but the thought of swapping sweaty helmets with random folks on a hot July day doesn't rank too high on my list. OG racing is right around the corner for me, so sourcing a helmet should be fairly easy. Unless there are better deals to be had online or via e-Bay or something. |

helmetharbor.com is ok, I think i'd gotten my lids at discountmotorcylehelmets.com ........
HJC is good and cheap too, that's what I ride with don't get all carried away with the $$$$$, if it's just for your car track days you should be able to get set up for 200 or less |

Hardy har har ... everyone is a comedian these days
Seriously though, the funny thing is I actually have a damn bike helmet, and some old tae kwon do head gear I could put to good use. Sadly, both are not SNELL approved! I'm gonna try to keep myself in check and not go overboard on a helmet. I guess I leave it up to the pros at OG Racing here in Ashburn to help me on which model to get. And if they have a Viking helmet in stock, I'll pick up one of those too just in case. |

Get an SA (auto racing) helmet, not an M (motorcycle). A few driving school organizers are picky and won't allow motorcycle helmets.
OG is a good shop, they will take care of you. |
