Alright...get your mind out of the gutter damnit!

I have a unique opportunity next week to go to Detroit with almost 500 other Viper owners from across the country and drive my car on the Chrysler Proving Grounds track where Dodge/Chrysler tests many of their cars, as well as to a Detroit-local drag strip.

Thing is, I need a helmet that is race-track rated (i.e. not a motorcycle helmet, it has to be minimum Dot-00, Snell 95 or later)...and I have big head. At the SRT Track experience, I wore an XL helmet (not sure how the sizing works normally).

If anyone has a helmet they would be willing to let me borrow, I would GREATLY appreciate it, as I don't really have the $300 to spend on a helmet right now.

Thanks guys!

 

LOL @ the thread title! i thought u were talkin about arrogant ricers! ill ask my buddies to see if they have a helmet to borrow

 

If I had one, I'd let ya borrow it, because I have a HUGE head

 

Brent has a nice doom piece and a helmet to meet your needs....lol

BAM BAM!

 

Not getting down on you at all bro. But I just think it's funny that you have a Viper and a SRT-8 and have the gas money to drive to Detroit in your viper...but can't come up with $300 for a helmet. LOL. I'd let you use mine but I think it's a snell 90. I know it's good for IHRA and I think NHRA tracks.

I was talking about this with my boss the otherday (06 Copperhead)
Have they found a place to store all the cars yet? I know they were thinking a local dealer or something

 

 

Brent is using his on track right now, and in a few days on the salt flats. I have one.. but... your dome may not fit it.

 

if I had a viper and a bumble bee and a mortgage...id be down on loot also..

 

****, I'm down on cash and I've got a Z and a rented apartment

 

yeah i got two actually.. but i live down south.. a $500 shoei helmet and like a cheap $200 hjc

 

yeah seriously how do you have these rides, and are racing but cant afford a 300 dollar helmet?

 

I couldn't justify 300$ on an item I'd use very rarely and I think thats the thing.

 

Some of you single guys need to realize that when you get married (in Kelly's case w/ kids) and are on a "married" budget it doesn't matter how much money you have it's hard to justify to the wifey spending 300 bones on a measley helmet.

That would then set a precedent that she could then blow $300 on a pair of shoes, bag, or something else that's totally useless.

 

I have a SA2000 rated race helmet if you want to borrow one PM we can try and work something out. For track you need SA rated not MA rated for motorcycles.

 

LOL...a couple of guys here 'get it'. It's not that the $300 is a big deal, but a) it's foolish to assume that $300 shouldn't matter to me, and b) it's $300 for something I'm probably going to use once, maybe twice before it 'ages out' of use.

Anywho....we're in Detroit now and I ended up buying a helmet from OG racing. Thanks to those who kept it on topic and offered to help me out.

 

Dont feel bad about only wanting to spend 300.

I have an Arai helmet i bought a year ago to this weekend that I have yet to use once. =(

 

I have a Ravens helmet you can borrow, Kelly! It was once owned by Ogden
