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?

Hey 1320,
Have you noticed that according to the poll the full face SA helmet wearing group is the minority?

As Ed would say, Have a nice day.

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?
