open face sounds like i'll have more visbility , i might as well get a descent one. i always hope and expect the best, but worst case, why not protect your head

to froogle i'll go. sounds like maybe i could try on some motorcycle helmets, get my size and by a car use one. if i stay with the same brand...

thanks i've also been kicking around the idea of trying to build a cheap rally car , and i'de need a helmet for that also (not sure if you could build a rally car for around or less then 3K and find an event to enter) obviosly not a high end one, but something with a roll cage, good tires and an engine that doesn't die 1st race (2nd race ok)

i need to do a lot of reading on the main ssca site and elsewhere.
