          I would think automotive and BMX helmets are drastically different...

            Get the newest possible that whay you don't need to replace when the next Snell or SA rating comes out. I too like open face helmets but some classes do not allow for them. Bieffe used to make a 3 in one unit. I used it on my bike and for track events.

                Sweet, I'm glad I found this thread. I need to get a helmet too, as the local autocross club here is starting up early this year!
