Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?

[1320racer]

what school did you go to?


SA rated full face 62 43.66%
M rated full face 19 13.38%
SA rated open face 40 28.17%
M rated open face 23 16.20%


Last I knew, 62 users/43.66% is the MAJORITY of those who replied to your poll and what I do know is that YOU are in the minority of those that think a $10 helmet bought off flea bay is as good as a Bell, Simpson, Impact no mind stupid enough to wear it while drag racing.

I didn't go to school in Jersey, 43.66% is less than half smart guy.

Next question for ya. Do you think it's more or less likely that the chinese would copy one of their own cheap helmets and sell it for 10 bucks or a high dollar Bell, Simpson, or Impact? The odds are that you're the one wearing a fake.
How's that make you feel?

I also suck at math but had to laugh at this one...

[Toby Lang]

Actually, a majority is more than half of the votes and a plurality is the greatest number of votes but less than half.

You could say that a majority (71%) wear SA rated helmets and a plurality (43%) wear full face SA rated helmets.

Toby KNOWS!

Meanwhile 1 knucklehead boasts of his fleabay deal buying a M rated helmet of unknown origin and condition for $10.50!

Phillip, it doesn't matter where or if you went to school, no school teaches common sense. All I know is this, a number of your threads are about you complaining about something, complaining about someone, complaining how much something costs or how you got screwed. It's obvious you're in over your head and can't afford to compete at the level you are no mind at the level your competitors are. NO ONE but you is boosting about showing the "stupid rule makers". What you're showing is no respect for the sanctioning body, SFI, your competitors and your ignorance! I suspect if you're buying a $10 helmet off flea bay to protect the space between your ears, you have the same attitude and approach with other safety requirements on your car.

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.

[Tom keedle]

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

[Phillip marvetz]

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.................
