Re: Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?
 

I'll bet it is, and I look forward to the opportunity of doing so, when I get to more sea level tracks where they'd run that quick. I guess there were maybe one or a few that ran that quick here, but I'd have to check out the national event we had here to see....still not as many as you'd get out there....

Re: Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?
 

I've got an idea how about all those folks that think there OK with the absolute minimum safety equipment, may be they could just get by with a stocking cap with a chin strap to keep the mush together so there will be less down time when there cleaning up after the wreck, also could also help the gene pool in the long run, witch would fix alot of other problems we currently have!!!!

on the other hand, are you willing to wear all the stuff the fuel guys wear?

Re: Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?
 

the line has been drawn in the rule book an I for one won't lose a moments sleep if the op ends up in a bag or brain dead because he is out to prove he is smarter than the "stupid rules maklers" NHRA, SFI and most of his competitors buying a helmet that cost less than $11!

Re: Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?
 

i guess i didn't get the part about him being smarter (or i didn't read it that way) BUT, it sounds like he's a better shopper than most of us..

ASSUMING it's not a knock-off helmet.

Re: Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?
 

why delete the part of my statement that his helmet cost less than $11?

This photo speaks for itself..

evidently, hitting the "quote" button doesn't quote everything...

Re: Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?
 

It doesn't cost that much more to get a good helmet; we don't need expensive carbon fiber etc. just an SA rated full face helmet to get as good a protection as is available for the most important body part. If NHRA wants to help us save money, how about recognizing that seat belts last longer than two years?

Re: Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?
 

Hey 1320,
Have you noticed that according to the poll the full face SA helmet wearing group is the minority?


As Ed would say, Have a nice day.
