What this means for me is that it is not legal in NHRA-sactioned races, which is the reason I bought the helmet in the first place. I called Bell's 1-800 number only to get a recording saying that they can't come to the phone right now because they're "busy shippin' helmets".
Needless to say, I'm not terribly happy right now.

Hopefully, I score a 2005 rated one, cause I'd like to keep it as a loaner/extra for autox.

I'm going to keep the order. A M2000 helmet is legal through the 2009 Season for autoX. I know the loaners we have aren't in the greatest of shape, but we still loan them out. This helmet will get nearly 3 years of use, that's $15/year ($1.25/mo). That, is a steal.

now I just need the damn SNELL sticker! I guess who ever is teching will just have to deal with it. I sign the release waver, I know the risks.
Looking forward to coming out again!
