Helmet question
I need to buy one Know it has to be DOT approved but what kinda helmets do you guys use? Do I just goto a bike shop and get one? Can I goto wal-mart and pick up one? Will a motocross helmet thats dot approved work?
Just tired of spending $10 a week renting helmet at the track. I couldve had enough money saved up by now to buy a nice helmet.

Thanks I appreciate the quick response. Looks like a great helmet design. I did not want a full closed in helmet like the bike helmets
WOW did not know that helmet costs high 300's on ebay....EEEK

Looks like i am buying a helmet aswell.
Found this site and the helmets look pretty cheap. I have never bought a helmet so not sure what all is needed. I assume it has to have a Snell of 2005+ for this year.

But looking through the site, they can be had for $60 plus $15 for shipping. Thats not bad at all.
Let me know what you guys think

David, Im not sure how they got away with it either. My track asks what I think my ET is going to be, and if you say 13.99, guess what, your wearing a helmet. I could never get away with it.

Scorpion helmets can be had for $130 or so and have the same level of protection as Arai's. I would get a full face helmet because losing teeth or breaking your jaw/cheek bones would suck.

Ya, I dont know how/why they are so lax on that. Im actually glad that the techs are as careful as they are. I would hate to be on the side of a car that shouldve be failed, but was passed by a lazy tech, then something happens. I feel better knowing that the techs are actually goind their job.

I always get checked when I put in my et. I just have to goto the tower and borrow a helmet everytime I goto the track. So far I think I spent $60 to borrow a helmet this season. 6 days at the track.
