Helmet Question

[Peaky85]

Haha, my 60 foot times are fine, but open face helmet + double chin = short bus, HAHAHA.

Reaction time has nothing to do with your 60' times !

Bah, I read too fast, lol. My reaction times generally suck, but have been steadily improving since I installed the 2-step.

This train is headed for a derailment...

Personally with your goals id stick to the HJC CL16

I agree with James. This is one I have and bought from Helmet City. Very Nice inexpensive helmet.

Well the Pyrotect came and I ordered it one size too small. My big stupid head was right on the edge of two sizes so I took a gamble on the smaller of the two. Sent it back yesterday and hoping to have the next size up by the 26th. I will hopefully being heading to the test and tune at Sac raceway that day. Anyone run there? Is it a decent track? I have never been down a drag strip before so this is going to be an overload of information for me. Haha. Thanks for all the help everyone.

I'm glad to see that you went with the SA instead of the M.

One of the differences between SA and M is that the M is not fire-resistant (actually, they burn quite nicely whether your head is inside it or not).

Another big difference is that the M is designed for one big hit instead of a lot of smaller ones as you bounce around off things inside your car. Even without a cage, A-pillars, B-pillars, and roof structure won't budge much when a helmet hits them, and you'd probably be amazed to learn just how far the human body can be stretched in an "incident".



Leave on the last yellow.

For future reference when ordering a helmet just tell them you own a Mustang and they will automaically send an XXL hemet..lol

Stick with sa helmet since some tracks may not accept a motorcycle helmet.
