Oh ya I forgot about that. Last year at the heads up events, with real tech they check inside the helmet and noted it was the last year for the old snell 2000, next year (this) you need to have a current rating. snell 200 A my local track has never checked, if your going somewhere that dose you need the current 2012+

Im pretty sure the SA SNELL rating is only for open bodied nitrous or boosted cars or funny cars. Then youll Need the SA rating. It must be full face if your running faster the 9.99ET tho.

Heres a good link for ya to go by:

I just purchased a HJC CL-16 off flea bay for a little over a $100. Should be good go awhile SNELL 2010 rating
