Unless your car runs faster than 10's, I think you're over thinking it.

Last time I went was on a test and tune night (Fri) wearing my motorcycle helmet (not the beany kind )and my brother used one they had there.
He ran a best of 13.9 in his tuned ecoboost stang (lol) and my stock GT stang ran a 12.9@113. No issues with the helmets.

Yea...Sometimes the tech actually looks in your helmet to make sure it is not expired..Such as a Snell 2005 is expired now. Anything above is still valid.

I'd advise for a helmet no matter what ET you are running, just for safety purposes.

They wouldn't let me run without a Snell approved helmet at Raceway Park in NJ. I even tried to use my regular DOT helmet i brought that is for my motorcycle but they were like nope. So i guess you can get away with it sometimes but that night they weren't having it lol. All i am saying is call your local strip before you head out to be on the safe side.

We had a GOOD amount of Camaros (5th/6th Gen) out at Capitol this past Saturday! Perfect weather and pretty much no crowd at all. I think I made 12 passes myself. LOL

Then on Sunday we had about 6 Camaros (5th/6th gens) at MIR. Good times!
