Re: Need a helmet
You only need a one if you can run 12.99 and faster. LOL LOL

PS. Plus you need a drive shaft loop at MAR now too.

It's funny you mention helmets because I'm going to buy a new one today as well. The best price I've found for a Snell M2000-rated helmet is through Summit for an RCI; it's $139.95, and it's a full-face helmet. (p.n. RCI-3025W for a large) My helment is slightly out of date, as is my fire jacket, so I'm ordering both today to be 100% legal for the Thunder Shootout. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Need a helmet
I just saw an ad at Auto Engineering (800-284-3551) in the Digger. $99 for a full Face Snell 00 Helmet (Small-XXL according to the ad. Even less for an open face unit (No prices listed).

Re: Need a helmet
Face you mean that hard *** head of yours ain't snell approved? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Mine just says snell approved on the outside and I haven't had any problems at MAR.
