Commerce Racing (helmets)

[HiPSI]

A friend of mine is a tech at Commerce. NEW HELMET RULE! And he says they're cracking down more on the rules. 13.99 as before BUT the helmets have to be Snell 2000 Approved. No Sn-95 or Basic Snell Approval will be allowed anymore. I had a freind tag along with me one night (Fast Friday) and he ran a 13.87 @ 107. He was told get a helmet, or slow down. If you don't you will be kicked out. If you can't afford one or don't race all that much, you can borrow one, or rent one. Wearing a helmet is not a bad idea, even if your car is slow...

does it have to be SA rated or is M ok? i assume M is ok as long as it's 2000+.

Correct. I have a new Shoei which is Snell M2005 Approved. The only difference that I know of between the M & SA is that with the SA it is cool to wear glasses inside the helmet. And that the SA has been tested in roll bage applications. I do not know if the track rules say anything about using a M cert. helmet in a vehicle that has a cage. I will try to find out more information soon though...
