I've got the same one in solid black. Was only about $60 somewhere else though.

i bought a simpson bandit from summit. very nice and comes with a helmet sock so you can just store it in the box without it scratching. the main thing, other than safety, is to have one thats comfortable. if you hate it, you will avoid wearing it.

I use one of my Shoei motorcycle helmets. Look on FleaBay, plenty of cheap helemts there...

I got my helmet at wal-mart. It cost me $78 plus an additional $14 for the black visor. It's even a Bell. Will post a picture soon.

Pictures of my helmet:

It's a little dirty, and the lighting in my room was extremely bad. Those are just rough pictures, and it looks a LOT better in person than by what those pictures show.

wow everyones are some much cheaper then Jegs... is that helmet comfortable at all? i may end up stoping at wal-mart myself once i get close to one. i need one to run at the track so it's kind of importent now

I have worn HJCs for years (I am a motorcyclist) and prefer them over the Bells I had before. JMHO.

I have a HJC . Here is mine:

Every time I get a new motorcycle helmet, I demote the old one to track duty. Using an old Arai right now.

i got mine from ebay, 50-60 bucks

but do a search on ebay, plenty, cheap, you only use it for seconds anyways.

yeah, well that walmart one looks good, cheap. and i can get it fast. im leaving on the 20th so i wouldn't have time for fast shipping let alone shipping where i live is like an 20-30 extra for every day quicker lol.

Hehe. If you like, I can post a picture of the padding. I use it for auto-cross events around the state once a week, and think it is great@!

yeah, send me some. is it comfy for you?

hell, take the fun way out....buy a crotchrocket and get them to throw in a helmet!

I guess if you feel your head is only worth $60 then spend $60 for a helmet...

Being from the motocross world I spend the extra$$$ for a helmet...I mean afterall you need your head don't you?

Hence the reason I run an Arai...

Word!

yeah, but your comparing an event that takes mins to an even that takes seconds.

oranges apples....

If I was riding a motorcycle I may consider stepping up to a higher dollar one, but for now, my Bell helmet does just fine.

yeah, im pretty sure 40 bucks isn't going to save my head to well.. if im looking to save my head ill go buy a 600 buck Honda Crotchrocket helmet. i just need it to run

yours is a badass helmet. :drive:

I use my old motorcycle helmet. Full face. I feel like I cant drive the car right with it. It got me the last time at the track as it had mold in it from sitting in the garage. I had to wear it there was no turnin back when I got there.

I found a helmet at tsc (tractor suply) store for a cheep helmet just to run.

The one thing you will have to look for is the rating on the helmet. depending on how fast you are running and what track you might need one that has a Nomex lining. Snell SA2005 rating or SFI approved are required at some tracks when running 9.99 or faster.

For those Speed Inc. has had the best prices that I have found.

I get mine from the guy who hands them out at the strip. Always fits! Don't see any problem with that!
