Lets talk Helmets!

[Quick86]

I need one. I forgot - Stanton told me the only thing they wanted me to bring next time I went to the track for safety wasn't anything done to the car - but a helmet for my big head! :dontknow: Any suggestions?

Does Stanton enforce the firesuit thing? I was thinking of goign this Sunday with a few guys from here but don't have a firesuit.

Now ---- how does one measure their head for helmet size? I typically wear like a 7 3/4 size fitted hat if I remember correctly, I think my big melon head is like 59mm around?

What time/speed do you need to break where you need a firesuit? I thought it was because of the turbo.

I got mine from Roseaneu (sp) on Ford Rd.

It is an M-rated helmet, but have never had a problem with it.
It is cheaper then a SA rated helmet, for cars.

m rated helmets are cheaper because they aren't fire retardent. SA helmets are more expensive because of that.
