I bought mine from a Honda motorcycle shop. It was around $140 for one of the cheaper ones with a fancy tinted reflective screen and fancy tribal paint job. You can get plain ones for a lot cheaper.

It has to be Snell rated. I can't remember exactly, but I think the Snell rating is valid for 12 years.

My helmet is M2005. But a SA2000 or M2000 should be good for a few more years.

As mentioned, helmet need a Snell 2000 or better rating to be legal at an NHRA track. I use a full face helmet (which is required once you run faster than 10.00) and found it helps in noise and my focus. There are a ton of options, I got mine from Helmet City.
