Hi all, i need to buy a helmet for the track event this weekend. What were the final 2 models everyone likes and are there any particular vendors? I need to order it tonight to get it in time.

Is it a car one? I want the bigger face openning of a car one, or I'd just grab an Arai.

Alright, I like it. I also like the Raider. I'm going to look around for a local vendor tomorrow for either Simpson or Arai. If I can't find it, then I'll pay the overnight fee.

Anyone know of Auto Helmet dealers in SoCal??

You'll need to call Donna, but most tracks don't allow it.

Mercedes Benz
SMGC32 got a new light weight 800 buck brain bucket. I compared it to my bell and... its just a TAD lighter and 500 bucks more expensive. If you just are looking for a weekend use brain protection system a Bell M3 does the trick just fine.

Go to WerksII in burbank. They stock it all and will let you try it all on as well. Their prices are very reasonable as well.
