Default Helmet sale at Simpson World

Hey all, just wanted to pass along some info I found at Simpson World in Mooresville NC today. Their location is having a sale on the Stingray CF helmets (SA2005). They came out with a new version, and are trying to clear out the Stingray. They currently list for anywhere from $800 to $1000 ea, and this location is selling them for $500.

I have no vested interest in the sale, just wanted to pass along the info to all of you. I bought mine today (gf is gonna kill me...).

The woman I talked to today said that the sale is not posted on their website, but if you call them they can ship.

This is the helmet I'm referring to:
http://simpsonraceproducts.com/produ..._id=8489&sort=

Grab the number for Simpson World East (Mooresville) - 800-473-7077

When I tried it on today, it was CRAZY how light it is...did not feel like I was wearing a helmet at all. Comes with a clear and smoke shield, helmet bag, pre-drilled for HANS device, etc.

Hmmmm....now that I think about it my helmet was a little ripe when I put it on two weeks ago. Maybe it's time.

I like that the pads are removeable for washing.
