I finally got money for a helmet! What rating does commerce require?

[pinoyboy]

Hey, for those of you using helmets at commerce, whats the safety rating on it? Snell M2000, SA2000, or something else?

Let me know!! Thanks alot!

What's your ET? I'm pretty sure they just check to see if it says snell inside, rating isn't that big of a deal unless you're running a whole lot faster than i think...

they've never even looked at one of mine... they don't really check it until you're running 10's or better usually.

Snell 2000 and DOT 3

I'm definately doing 13s. Last year I just had an exhaust and was doing 14.1. Now I've added stage 1, spiking 18psi, 60mm TB, and some other small things.

then you don't need to wear a helmet, not that it's a bad idea, but it's not required.

...i would go ahead and look for a snell 2005, i'm not sure they if they are out on the market yet but snell updates their standards every 5 years and the saftey guidelines update a year or so later. when this happened when they changed from snell 95 to snell 2000 there were a ton of 95 helmets on sale but the places would never tell you that they won't meet standards in a year.

i guess it all depends on where you are going to use it though, some places are a little more lenient(sp?) than others

Helmet is required when running 13.99 or faster...Snell 90,95,2000 will work SFI 31.1,31.2,41.1,or 41.2 will also work..

was under 12 requires a rollcage, or was it between 12 and 13 sec?
