I'd assume anything as long as it's DOT approved?

DOT approved should be I guess. If it's SNELL, even better.

As long as its a newer helmet you should be fine. Motorcycle helmets are accepted at most drag strips, but ATV/dirt bike or open style helmets usually aren't.

if your drag racing on a sanctioned track, it's gotta be Snell approved, i'm unsure of what year snell though.

SNELL 2005 or better is required at most tracks.

At the track I go to they really aren't too hard on you as long as it is DOT approved, however, if you are turning in some quick times the rules get more strict!!! As long as you stay in the 12's or slower you should be good to go with a DOT approved helmet.

Correct! Your average Wallmart special with only DOT rating is no good. But most good quality bike hemets will be snell rated.

The only time you truly need a Snell 2005 SA rated helmet is in open cockpit cars or cars going 9.99 or faster with full rollcages. edit for clarification: A Snell rated helmet is needed for 13.99 or quicker. The above was defining when a SA helmet may be required. Last edited by speedster; 03-17-2010 at 08:37 AM. |

But it has to be a Full Faced Snell 2005 if you are 9.99 and quicker.
