If its just for AutoX, any M2000 or M2005 helmet is fine, and so you can go to any motorcycle store....

Pyrotect is not at that site anymore, looks abandoned. I think they moved to Oregon. Pls check their website to confirm.
Checkout IO Port racing supplies in Lafayette.

I just bought a "slightly used" hjc helmet off ebay for $40.

I suggest check ebay. Even if you want a new helmet you can get an hjc for $69 on up. Many of these are simply previous years models on clearance. Just make sure you get the proper Snell rating for your autox region. Sacramento requires Snell SA or M 95 thru 2005.

i went to IO Port racing and the guys where really nice. I ended up getting a pyrotect helment Snell SA2005, for 245, before tax. The location of the store is the only weird part, its in a residential area.
