As of January 1, 2006 it will be required that everyone racing at an NECC Solo2 event wears a helmet that is Snell95 approved or higher. This means helmets that are just DOT approved will not be allowed at any Solo event, including our events. DOT helmets are okay for Bud Park, but there are stricter rules for road racing. So for Solo2 next year these are the Snell helmets that will be allowed: K95 M95 SA95 K2000 M2000 SA2000 K2005 M2005 SA2005 M=Motorcycle K=Kart SA=Special Applications Racing (Road) The number is the year they fit approval for. New standards are released every year. So, since I think very few of us have one of these helmets, I would like to start a group buy. I will have to check into prices of the different types. I don’t really want to cheap out because, well, its your head you are protecting. So, depending on price, would you want to buy a helmet? ---

You know I’m totally in for this one. I can’t wear the purple helmet anymore, it’s a little too small, and gay looking :lol: ---

Not sure yet. Havent looked too far into it. Wanted to see if there was interest first. Bell? HJC? Sparco? Simpson? What brands can you get? I havent researched them too much. I’ve heard HJC is really good for the price. There only downside from what I hear is wind noise but if you are in a car, who cares? Unless its a Super 7… Yeah I could probably ship one to you at your expense if the deal is worth it. ---

I’m in as long as the helmets are cheap and snell approved. I can’t use a helmet that’s not snell approved, here in Regina on our track. ---

I completely forgot about this tentative group buy. Maybe there’s a local vendor that NECC can approach and work out some kind of group discount, that way we can try on helmets and make sure they fit properly. Just throwing that out there 🙂 ---
