Folk, it isn't a helmet. It is a container to protect your brain. Your brain is all you ever were and all you ever will be.
Everyone races on a budget. Everyone. Some budgets are bigger than others, but everyone races on a budget. In our shop we have five top priorities for client builds.
#1 Driver Safety (Helmet, HANS & Harness)
#2 Driver Safety (Brakes, Wheels, Tires)
#3 Driver Safety (Life and Death Nut and Bolt Check)
#4 Driver Safety (Cage & Fire Suppression System)
#5 Fast Car
Arrange 1 - 4 in most any order, but fast car modifications are always LAST, waaaay behind driver safety.
Buy the best SA helmet you can afford. The lighter the helmet, the easy it is on your neck while driving or in the event of an incident. I hope it turns out to be the same as an umbrella is for me. When I have my umbrella I rarely ever need to use it.
BTW -- One last thought. None of the passenger safety systems in a modern muscle car are designed to be of real safety value at any speed in excess of the legal speed limits and certainly not at triple digits. Please keep that in mind.
