Nothing special, just so I can take my car to the track.

Jegs or Summit both have decent helmets for cheap. Check out the G-force line.

As the old saying goes...If you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet

Head's not worth $10, leaning a little more towards $18.73!

I was leaning towards an Arai GP-6RC....then realized my head wasn't worth that much

Simpson is the only choice for us. My girls raced jr dragsters for years and Simpson was the best we found. Great company to deal with also. Price, well never really looked for anything but the best

I bought a Fulmer on ebay, it was less than $60 and has a good snell rating for the next 5 years.

thanks a lot ... I sketched it out ... I can draw a lil ... but it was exactly what I wanted ..... I want the safest for me since I have 2 kids waiting on me at home! skimping out on safety is just the wrong idea for me. Im going through a lot of changes with motors. my next investment is roll bars in my 48k mile GN

Its funny how we think more about safety when we get older. I remember when I talked my wife into letting the girls race jrs, there was a long list of must haves and the brain bucket was one. We go to a national event every year and the Simpson rep knows my girls by name I think the last helmet was around $400 and they are good for 15 years, that's $26 a year. Oh an they always bought there own helmets and take real good care of there investments

I went 160 in my ss vert Camaro top down when I was young .... young and dumb ..... my brother passed away this yr to someone steping out infront of him on his Harley ... so it makes me think a lot more

Maybe "cheap" wasn't the right word to use. My old Shoei motorcycle helmet was out of date. I have seen racers use a freakin off road helmet!

Used a G-Force in roundy-round dirt track racing. Bounced my head of the cage a few times and taken the occasional car part in the head and I haven't shown any signs of retardation-ation-ation-&@$$#. Seriously I have been more that happy with it.
