I've got an idea how about all those folks that think there OK with the absolute minimum safety equipment, may be they could just get by with a stocking cap with a chin strap to keep the mush together so there will be less down time when there cleaning up after the wreck, also could also help the gene pool in the long run, witch would fix alot of other problems we currently have!!!!

the line has been drawn in the rule book an I for one won't lose a moments sleep if the op ends up in a bag or brain dead because he is out to prove he is smarter than the "stupid rules maklers" NHRA, SFI and most of his competitors buying a helmet that cost less than $11!

i guess i didn't get the part about him being smarter (or i didn't read it that way) BUT, it sounds like he's a better shopper than most of us..

ASSUMING it's not a knock-off helmet.

why delete the part of my statement that his helmet cost less than $11?

This photo speaks for itself..

It doesn't cost that much more to get a good helmet; we don't need expensive carbon fiber etc. just an SA rated full face helmet to get as good a protection as is available for the most important body part. If NHRA wants to help us save money, how about recognizing that seat belts last longer than two years?
