HELMET RATINGS...WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
Auto racing helmets are rated by the Snell Foundation as either SA, M, or K rated... Snell SA Rated Helmets: Snell "SA" (Sports Application) rated professional helmets are designed for auto racing and provide extreme impact resistance and higher fire protection. Snell M Rated Helmets: Snell "M" (Motorcycle) rated helmets are designed for motorcycling and other motorsports. They offer slightly less protection than SA rated helmets. Snell K Rated Helmets: Snell "K" (Karting) rated helmets are designed for Karting applications. They are subjected to the same test standards as SA helmets except the do not require a fire retardant interior. What are the key differences between SA and M Rated Helmets: - SA standard requires flammability test while the M standard does not. - SA standard has rollbar impact test while M standard does not. - SA standard allows narrower visual field than M standard (Some SA helmets aren't street legal). |

My Snell Helmet that passed inspection for Camaro Cross at Fest 6 should work for Fest 7 shouldn't it ? I bought it in 2015 just for this purpose.

It would be super ideal if there were some vendors selling helmets at the event. I plan to get one, but want to make sure I enjoy autocross enough to make the investment. Although I really dont have much concern about not enjoying it. |

If possible, return it so you can invest in a motorsport appropriate helmet. |

Looking to get this done. If all goes to the current plan, I'll be in town Wednesday morning. What fluid do you recommend and how much will I need to bring with me? Can't say as I've ever flushed a brake system before. |
