I picked up a Snell M rated helmet at a motorcycle store for $70 years ago

[ERR0RMACR0]

PJ - for how long will that SA2010 helmet be legal?

I thought they were legal for 15 years? Can anyone confirm?

[GOT SVT]

PJ - for how long will that SA2010 helmet be legal?

i believe they are good for 12 years

[ERR0RMACR0]

Correction, looks like 12 years in drag racing at least. It appears AutoX accepts them a little longer given they're still ok with snell 2000.

*Edit, GOV beat me :)

[FPenvy]

i'm just hoping they got loaners there this weekend since I don't think i'll be able to get a helmet of my own by then.

From what I've heard, motorcycle helmets are not legal for drag racing or road course use.

Would love to come out Sunday but my wife's aunt is flying in from Texas and we're doing brunch at the grand concourse on Sunday. Damnit. Next event is the same day as Pittrace track cross so I'll be out there.

Yeah we will be at the trackcross that day as well.

They let you wear them at track days, but we have to have SA rated helmets for hillclimb and time trial. Any 70 dollar helmet from a motorcycle shop is fine to autocross. I have a Pyrotech (spelling?) open face, maybe paid $180 for it have had it for 10 years.

[PaxtonShelby]

I meant for drag strip duty - I was told the "M" helmets are not sufficient. They had to be "SA" rated. Maybe autocross is different because of the lower speeds?

[SlowSix]

Prp has never done more than ask if I had a helmet.
But I just run at tnt so

[cwh19]

You can use anything short of a bicycle helmet at PRP.

[FPenvy]

I'm hoping they have loaners tomorrow for me or maybe borrow someone's for runs. I plan on being there around 8:30/9am

Whoever told you that is full of shit. I've passed tech at MIR, ATCO, Englishtown with a Snell M, used it at multiple autox's, trackx's as well with no problems.

"For all 10.00 to 13.99 closed-bodied cars, either an open-face or a full-face Snell M2000, M2005, M2010, K2005, SA2000, SA2005,
SFI 31.1A, 31.1/2005, 31.2A, 41.1A, 41.1/2005, or 41.2A helmet with or without a shield is mandatory."

Nope, my wife's aunt flew up from Texas yesterday and they made brunch reservations at the Grand Concourse for us. So I gotta attend that. Track cross in 2 weeks for sure tho.
