A SA-2010 full-face helmet will get you into any automotive event (I have a Simpson Classic Voyager).

M-rated helmets (motorcycle) will get you into autocross, but not out on the road courses. I have no idea what the dragstrips might require.

My advice is to pick one with good ventilation and a relatively large eyeport.

SafeRacer carries many helmet names and a wide range of price. Light weight costs $$$, unfortunately.

If you need to wear glasses, keep that in mind. I can't help you there, so ask around for experiences.
