Socal Rebell,

I bought my last helmet at a motor cycle shop of Victory blvd. Nice helmet they always have something on clearence and all of it is to current spec. I believe that it was $119.00 down from $240.00 regular price.

If you are interested let me know I will get the name of the shop, and its local to you.

Be careful when buying at cycle shops, as most track events require nomex interior, not used on cycle helmets, because few people are traped inside a burning cycle. Those usually have a Snell rating of 95M or 2000M.

While these are a little cheaper they will not provide the same level of safety against fire.

IMHO the extra money spent on a good helmet will make you faster, as your confidence level goes up a notch when you ******** a high quality helmet.

Enjoy the track. Turn 8 at willow is a hoot.
