I can't get him back on the phone right now. He's in Valdosta. When I asked about Bell, he laughed. SNELL and 2005 were coming out his mouth continuously so that's why I posted it. We'll get it locked down!

The full face was not a big issue according to him. Now you show up with a sub 9 second car, you need even more safety equipment than just a full face helmet.

Most street legal racers don't go for full face as there is no requirement for that. Snell 2005 is what there looking for.

Now this is from my own research and I have put the website I got it from at the bottom. I am no drag race driver! I have never run a "legal"

1320, nor have I used a stop watch, timer or anything.

BUT, I do want to make sure if you purchase a helmet, it's not going to be a waste of money. Evaluate the information, make an informed decision and exude confidence.

I will point out that in the helmet requirements it says nothing about DOT. SNELL is the word for the day.

It appears, Fieldgoal, that the helmet your looking at meets the requirements.

The NHRA 2009 Rule Book Reads as follows for Helmets and Goggles:

As outlined under Class Requirements, drivers in all classes, including motorcycles, must wear a helmet meeting Snell or SFI Specifications.

SFI Spec 31.1A = Snell SA, open-face helmet
SFI Spec 31.2A = Snell SA, full-face helmet
SFI Spec 41.1A = Snell M, open-face helmet
SFI Spec 41.2A = Snell M , full-face helmet

Effective Jan. 1, 2008, full face helmet mandatory on all cars 9.99 or quicker. See Individual Class Requirements for additional requirements.

Shield mandatory 7.49 & quicker.

E.T. cars (13.99 or quicker) must use a helmet meeting Snell 2000, 2005, 2007 or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, 31.1/2005, 41.1A, 41.2A or 41.1/2005 Specs. Drivers in supercharged, front-engine, open-bodied cars and Funny Cars must wear a helmet meeting Snell SA2000, SA2005 or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, or 31.1/2005 Specs. See Class Requirements.
