Is your Arai helmet a SNELL M helmet? If so do it have Nylon liner...in case of fire will it melt in your face. Switch to full face SA helmet if you want to be safe.

Thanks; I'm going to the SA rating; it's required in some SCCA and NASA racing and going to a bit of that too with an old BMW that's in the works.
