Byron Helmut? Any specific kind needed
Dumb question, but what kind of helmut do I need? Does it need face visor, chin covering or anything else?
|
I've not been to a track that questioned the style (full, half, visor, non-visor) of my helmet. But, I have been told that a motorcycle helmet was NOT acceptable because it didn't meet the fire standards that an auto helmet does. i.e. they were fine with a really cheap car helmet, but not a very expensive bike helmet. (I bet it doesn't matter at all at Byron.......)

I can't make it to Byron this weekend, but I do have a car helmet to lend if you're near Bartlett (or I can bring it to Fuddruckers tomorrow) |
borrow
I might take you up on that offer. I am very close to Bartlett, but won't be at Fuddruckers. Can you send me you address in a private message?
Or, maybe you can tell me where to by one. I went to the Harley Dealership on Randall and they could not tell me anything about racing helmuts for drag racing, whether it be for motorcycles or cars. I really don't know where to begin. |

They really dont care too much, a full face helmet is good. If you don't plan on racing much then borrow someone's motorcycle helmet. OR follows jerry's advice if you plan on using a lot. They don't even require arm restaints at Byron for our cars. Some tracks do i.e.; Great Lakes Dragway However a long sleeve shirt or jacket, and closed shoes, are required. See picture above:eek: |
and I'm pretty old and was damn fast

Thanks Jerry
Jerry, I am going to pass on the space man helmut suggested above and go with your suggestion. If that doesn't work, I may borrow one.
Thanks |
