I want to pass tech inspection for the "yellow" or novice/beginner group. Thanks.
When buying a helmet (SA2006), make sure you find a shop with a qualified person to help you with the fit. Each brand, and each style within the brand has it's own fit characteristics. A misfit helmet is worse than having none at all. Do not let anyone tell you any different. Race suit/driving gloves wise, I still prefer to try them on to see which one fits better than the others. double and triple layer better than a single layer unit.
