I am positive there are other track events being held at NCM through out this year that are allowing the SA2005 helmets.
The SA2015 helmets start coming out October 1, this year. I am really hoping to wait and buy a SA2015 and not buy a SA2010. I don't want to spend $350+ on an old standard.

That's the info I was able to dug up:
"Helmet Expiration Dates
Many times the question comes up regarding the Expiration Date in helmets. The NJSP will be following the NHRA Snell Expiration Dates as listed in the 2010 NHRA Rulebook:
Snell 2000 Expires 1/1/2012
Snell 2005 Expires 1/1/2017
Snell 2010 Expires 1/1/2022
Some helmet manufactures are now only putting just a tag with the manufactured date inside the helmet. The same will apply to these helmets, 12 years from the date on the manufactures tag inside the helmet. Basically, the rule of thumb is 12 years on a Snell rated helmet (UNLESS IT APPEARS DAMAGED)
So I take that your SA2005 is good for another 2 years. Base on that info I ordered a custom paint SA2010 helmet.
