Default Local facility for helmet fitting near OH

Good morning-

I just picked up an 02 C5Z and am very excited to get back on track in 2017, but I'm in need of a helmet as my current is out dated and fits poorly. Does anyone know of a place I can go to try on several higher end helmets at the same facility? I historically wore an Arai when I tracked motorcycles and would like something comparable in the auto world.

any information would be appreciated.

x2. I walked into Craig's old shop (he's now located at Full Throttle Indoor Karting, and said "I have $X to spend, and want whatever is best for that money." He started me in something significantly less than my budget to see if it worked and he could save me some cash. It didn't, so we kept working our way up until ending up with the right fit. We even went above my desired budget to see if things got better fit wise (they didn't, in my situation). Craig has easily forgotten more about helmets than I know. He knows his stuff and will take care of you.

One of the best in the business, just bought a helmet from him yesterday.
He has most brands and sizes in stock to try on. They all fit a little different.

Summit racing in Talmadge has nearly every brand and size of safety equipment in stock and has no problem bringing it to you and letting you try things on for size.

Track First in Hudson, Oh is another option.

Why not a car version of Arai? I have a Corsair that fits really well, went with the GP-6.
