Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?

Phillip marvetz · 03-11-2012, 12:04 PM

Toby, I think you beat 1320 to that one,lol.
That is of course a correct statement also but since a few of these guy's have stated that the only way to be safe is to be wearing a full face SA helmet I wanted to point out that more than half of us are not. Are they right? YES. Are the rest of us wrong? NO. We make our choices and move on.

Next question for you guy's, Which would you consider safer? A M rated full face or a SA rated open face?

P.S 1320, I actually have a class legal racecar and race it. You on the other hand just troll around here telling us all how great you are with your bracket car. At least you haven't posted anymore of your stupid pictures this week.

oh heck, I got another question...how many of you have custom paint on their helmets?

Phillip marvetz · 03-11-2012, 12:25 PM

I was thinking about painting mine flat black but I didn't want to invest any more money into it, I've already spent to much.

I have NO intention of ever fielding a super stock combo, makes no financial sense.

With the cost to field a new super stocker at 150 large, the travel, time off from work and the pennies for payout, you won't see me anytime soon.

So which is it? Have you ever competed at a Divisional or National event with it? Or is it just a dream.................

This from a guy who yesterday claimed to be "waiting on a phone call" so he could buy and campaign a new $100K COPO car.

If you have to pay $150K to go Super Stock racing, you're buying everything done. And trying to see just how much you can spend.

alan, here's another news flash, the phones are ringing off the wall at B&B, MPR, East Texas and others, who build $100,000 rollers for Super Stock as well over at Tilberg, Gulius, Watters waiting in line for their $30,000 engines as well over at Rossler and McClay for one of their $5,000 transmissions.

I'm in good company with many of your competitiors!
