Re: M2000 helmets R I P
The SNELL 2010 helmets have been available for a year. (2015 helmets are not available)
The M helmets have nothing to do in Auto racing, buy the SA helmets, they are built for your sport. Some years ago I did a test with a ECE helmet with similar interior as a SNELL M helmet. It took 2 seconds for the interior to catch fire. Within 10 seconds was it totaly destroyed... In S/SS are you mandated to use driving clothes that protects from second degree burns for about 10 seconds, but still allowed to use a helmet that in 2 seconds starts to burn and melt in your face... Picture of helmet after the test: http://www.flickr.com/photos/janphersson/5386601383/ Quote:

Spend a couple extra bucks on a SA2010 helmet, that way its legal regardless of class until 2022.

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

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
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

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
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.

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.
