My full face helmet is not too bad,it has the air vents and as Bill has said,leave a crack in the visor.........

Only an open track event,do not know what track you are planning to run,but one open track event I ran last year in my street legal,street driven 65 Mustang,with a whopping 350 hp,I hit top speeds of 115 to 120 and was letting off early on the front straight,some corners were pretty fast also,it's not the speed thats gonna kill or maime you,it's the sudden stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any car is nothing more than a bunch of mechaical parts put togehter,any one or any number can fail without notice and off you go into the wall or another car,what if an outer tie rod or ball joint brakes at speed,nothing you did wrong but sometimes $hit happens.............

Before any high speed "event",I spend about an hour on my car checking suspension parts,tie rod ends,wheel bearings,all steering components,driveshaft u-joints,etc.,etc., I do not like suprises,especially on the track at speed.......

Last year at the 40th in Nashville on the second day,when I got in the car,it felt like my Kirkey racing seat was loose a little,got out to check on it and two of the four nuts holding it down were about 1 thread from falling off,the third was finger tight and the forth tight,I had put the seat in two days before and dam sure tightened the nuts myself very very tight,I guess the vibrations from the car loosened them,but in 10 years of normal street driving the very same nuts have never loosened up at all.........check your car carefully....................
