    FYI

    One thing to keep in mind is if you run SCCA, there has been discussion concerning full face hemets and air-bag equipped cars. They haven't banned them yet but it looks like it could be possible in the future.

        Motorocycle and car helmets are designed differently. Bike helmets are made to withstand one big smack, car helmets are made to take a few lighter bumps without issues. From what I've seen motorcycle helmets can become unsafe if they've ever taken any type of hit at all, such as banging a roll cage, etc.

        "Modern cars may be able to outgun it, but few can match its character, its motorsport spirit, and the way it plasters a huge grin on your face at any speed." - Patrick George

          motorcycle helmets are single impact helmets, yes. I always keep mine in good shape, don't drop it or anything like that. it sits in the bag on the shelf.

          so I figured why wouldn't something made to take the impact of falling straight onto your head be safe to use in a cage


          I'll look into a normal helmet though, as I plan to do a lot of track events this year

            i thought the basic reasoning behind it was fire protection, thats what scrutineers have always said.
