Anyone know what there rules are for helmets? M2005 or SA2005 ratings. I know some tracks require SA rating. Was looking at a M2005 but just want to make sure....

Thanks...

Nobody knows? Anyone from DKP run at Irwindale that have gone thru tech inspection and can tell me what they require or if they checked your helmets.

They have always checked mine,which is SA2005,its good to any ET,but I cant tell you if they will let you run with a Motorcycle helmet in a car or not[that is what a M2005 is isnt it? ]

Thats what I thought too about the M2005 but, a guy on the samba that is selling it said it was a drag helmet. I will stick with a SA2005. just wanted someone that raced there knew for sure before I pulled a trigger on a helmet.

Thanks Richie.....

As per NHRA rules:
"any car running 14.00 and quicker in the 1/4 mile requires a Snell 2005 or newer OR SFI 41.1A helmet". Also a new NHRA rule in 2008 requires that "any car running 9.99 or quicker in the 1/4 mile requires an NHRA approved FULL face helmet with visor.

The Snell rating is the important part, possibly not the M or SA ...  Huh

Hope it helps  Wink

Actually, SA = Special Application

M = Motorcycle
K = Karting

There are more:

Like I mentioned, I'd check NHRA ... and I believe the minimum requirement is Snell (XXX)-2005

Yup, he is going to be running O/T if he makes the field. I bought some RCI  Platinum Series belts. They are supose to have a free re-webbing with them, making them good for 4 years.

Just an FYI since your in CA,  Crow will re-web belts of theirs. Rather inexpensive also and they are in orange, if I'm not mistaken.
