Buy whatever pays contingency. You may never get a chance to claim it but at least you have supported the companies supporting the sport.

Hey guys it's your head! What's it worth? You should only buy SA Snell rated helmets! As a former Paramedic I have seen many cheap helmets crack, split or completely come apart and kill the wearer! Isn't it worth and extra $100 or so? Ask Ken Etter if he's glad he had a good helmet! Jim

I just got an SA2010 helmet from G-Force for around $260. Fire sucks. Fire melting your helmet to your face gives new meaning to "suck". After the year I've had there was no question for me.

One racer suggested this, http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/CTGY/FS-3-solid.

A perfect condition helmut means that you never needed it. That is ALL GOOD !

Ken's helmet was pretty useless when the steering column went up under his chin guard, Just sayin.
The tracks I run at have lot's of shutdown area even for a 128 mph car and if it's on fire I have other thing's to worry about. I will be looking for M2010 though.
