I actually saw an e-mail come in from NASA saying the same thing. That full face helmets were now required at NJMP. While I have one, I still know many that don't and that will hurt HPDE participation at that track for sure.

Interesting: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=h...20Advisory.pdf

it is highly recommended that full-face helmets not be used in vehicles with functional airbag systems.
