Helmet for Speed trial

Alright who still needs a helmet.. let's put together and list and see if we want to setup a day to go together to somewhere local to pick up a helmet.

My previous plan
I was going to head down to the bell store on 5/19 Fri take a half day off work and go pick up SA2005 open face helmet.
Price around $150.

Post up your budget.
Day and time you are available. either this weekend 5/13 Sat or 5/19 Fri or 5/20 Sat.
These three days are good
Note Bell store is only open Mon-Fri 10-6.

1. Eddie (Any of the three day is good)

19th is good for me. I'm probably going to try and find a full face for that price (saw one on their website for like 150 M helmet). I can't on the 13th and 20th. Going to busy prepring a room to paint, then moving

If you're going to use the helmet for track day events, you really should get an SA-rated helmet, not M-rated. Most track event organizers and tracks require that drivers wear SA-rated helmet.

Actually the organizers are allowing them(the people who registered in my group) to use MA2000 since this is there first time. They want to make sure before you they enjoy it and will come back before they invest in a helmet.

Snell certification is good for 5 years. There are different Snell ratings: SA, M, etc. Depending on tracks and event organizers, some allow older certified helmets.
