Check out http://www.helmetcity.com The prices aren't too bad and they have a decent variety. Even if you are just going drag racing, get a Snell SA2000 rated helmet. The SA rating gives you fire protection.
Don't skimp on a helmet. Someone here once said something to the effect that "if you have a $10 head, get a $10 helmet." Expect to pay around $220+ for a Bell or Simpson open-face or a bit more for a full-face design.

Try on the helmet first. They don't all fit the same.
I got a Bell cause the Simpsons didn't fit my noggin (not even the larger sizes). The guy at the raceshop where I bought mine said that one is more oval and the other is more round (I forget which one is which).
