Nevermind guys... I got a helmet. Its an O'neil. Snell Rated M2000. Its fucked up as hell (asthetically). But its sound ;) Just got to clean up the cobwebs, dust from it, and throw the liner in the washer :) Anyone wanna airbrush it for me? heheh I'll probably just put some stickers on it :D Should be enough for AutoX

I tried to talk to Tom about this. He just said go by what the website says. And the website just says that it has to be last 3 snell ratings. Doesn't even specify which. SA, M, MA, etc.. I tried to explain that to him, and he just said that he has never seen someone fail tech because of a helmet. I also asked him if I fail tech will I get my money back, he said the same thing, haven't seen anyone fail tech yet... So hmmm we'll see...

might not matter for autocross. but anything higher than AutoX it has to be SA

This is a greeat place to check out. They are right off the 55 fwy. Tons of helmets in stock.
I bought my pyrotect helmet there that I'm using now for auto-x. You'll need a minimum
snell rating of 95 for auto-x.

the old saying goes:

"if you have a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet"

i guess when purchasing a helmet, one should take a good look at the intended and future uses....i needed to buy a helmet for my kart...immediate needs were for an M-rated, closed face helmet and nothing more...many closed-face M2000 helmets available for under $200.

however, i do some automotive racing and would one day love to do an open-wheel car...and since snell ratings are only valid for so long, I ponied up the extra few bucks and got an SA2005 rated closed-face helmet....
