    You will need a Snell 2000 or better helmet if you plan to race.

    Hmmm...I would like to run just to see where i'm at, but I dont have a helmet. Where would I get one? I've got a half shell for my Harley, but I dont suppose that would work.

    I believe Loper's has auto helmets.

    Motorcycle shops also.

    You will need to get a full face I believe. To my knowledge, Snell will not pass a half face helmet and has only passed a few with a flip up chin. Check out the guys at The Helmet Harbor here in Gilbert. They are one of the largest motorcycle helmet distributors in the country and they will hook you up. Go there before you check a motorcycle dealer. As BurnTire mentioned, I believe I've seen a helmet inside of Loper's.

    Open face is allowed as far as I know. I will have to check the rule book.

    You may be right, I know there are different standards from the Snell Foundation for different uses and they may be acceptable for automotive racing. I'm more familiar with the Snell Motorcycle standards so I wouldn't put it past me to be wrong.

    yup there are snell helmets that are not full face. I got my snell 2005 helmet from a motorcycle shop near 59th and bell or somewhere around there. Paid 50 for it
