Look for one rated Snell SA2015. Most track events have a minimum requirement of Snell SA2010, but 2015 will become more of a requirement moving forward.

Do not buy a motorcycle helmet for road course driving.

Good luck.
SCCA Track Night in America allows for M-rated helmets. Not worth it for those who wish to get more serious, but if you just want to attend this its fine. Related quote and link below.

"Helmets certified as meeting the most current or the two most recent applicable Snell, FIA, or SFI standards are acceptable.
Acceptable standards include:
Snell ratings: SA2015, SAH2015, SA2010, SAH2010, SA2005, M2015, M2010, M2005"
