In Preparation for Viper Days I got my SA2000 full face helmet. Do I have to have the face shield down or can I remove it. I have glasses and wear safety impact lenses if that makes any difference.

Yes - I am a tad claustorphobic (sp?) and removed mine - also ordered a wider than normal eye opening on my helmet.

Some just leave it on and prop it up with the existing mounts on the side of the helmet. If heaven forbid something should happen and jostle you around the face shield would fall down. I don't quite understand how it happens (aerodynamics) but after getting smacked in the face with some tire rubber I leave mine down. And since then I have had to clean at least one rubber mark off the face shield since then. I can speak from experience on this if you go off track and end up sliding backwards. Dirt and grass will funnel up into the car and fill it up especially the dash. No matter how good you vacuum it up there will still be that stuff swirling in the car. You will want the face shield down for that.

Correct. I have mine removed, but Alan does more off roading so he needs to keep his on.

That wall wasn't there on the previous lap!!!

BTW there's a rumor that ViperDays will have Sebring on it's schedule next year. I hope to see that road warrior down here.
