Again, the price you may pay for not having the protection is worth a little sweat, in my book.
But, you know, that's just another typical Goatman response.  Chance favors the prepared mind. |

Man years ago when I bought a new bike, when shopping for a helmet, the salesman (and an old friend) said, "got a hundred dollar head? then get a hundred dollar helmet!". Makes sense. That was in the early 80's. That Bell helmet I bought saved me a number of times, once on the bike and several times snowmobiling. It was a full face helmet. Didn't pass tech a couple years ago as it was out of date. My new Shoie was purchased at a motorcycle shop. I tried on several before I found one that fit comfortably and was the latest certification. I would not buy one over the net. And you bet it's a full face helmet...I do not want to kiss my steering wheel. It was less than $300.

Dennis Kirk sells alot of helmets. I bought a Bell full face Snell 2000 for a little over $200.

Agree that M is for motorcycles and SA for autos.
Personal opinion is that I would rather see an up to date M helmet on a racer vs an outdated SA helmet. Quote: "13.99 - 7.50 sec. cars must wear a snell or SFI, approved helmet. For ET cars the approved numbers are,,,,Snell 90, 95, K98, 2000, or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, 41.2A specs...//... Open bodied, supercharged, front engine cars Spec. Snell SA90, SA95, SA2000, or SFI Spec.31.1A, 31.2A...///...SFI31.1A, = Snell SA helmets, are open face,,,SFI 31.2A = Snell SA full face...///...SFI 41.1A = Snell M, open face. SFI 41.2A = Snell M, full face..all good to 7.50 secs..//..7.50 and quicker Snell SA 95 & 2000 or SFI 31.2A.." Looks like the SA and M helmets are both NHRA approved for racing. Tom V.

Yes Tom, they are. So much for the 15 year NHRA tech.
I guess I'll give the helmet away with the GTO, since the new car will have to be SA95.  Chance favors the prepared mind. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
