I agree! Had an open M series and switched to an SA full face!

If I had an 11 sec. or quicker car, then I may see the need for a full face helmet. However since my car runs 15's, I don't so I'll continue using my M rated open face helmet.

In the event that a 4000# 145 mph car goes THROUGH my Turismo, I don't think I stand a chance no matter what I'm wearing. But that's a different topic.

No Bob we don't, however I've yet to run against a 9sec stocker anyway. Every car I've had to line up next to (so far) has been a 10 sec. or slower roller. Besides, if their cars safety equipment matches their performance (they shouldn't be on the track if it doesn't), then they should stay in their own lane, as I have been in mine...no harm, no foul.
