If you're going to the school in Brainerd, I'l probably see you there. I just bought a Pyrotech open face. It's SA and Snell 2005 rated. Very nice helmet for the $150. or so I paid.

yeah and it's ALL your fault too! If you would have gotten the Brakes and tried em out I wouldn't have had too! But nooooooo you had to let life get in the way and now look what you did to me!

Now I need race seat or at least harnesses cuz the Sport Seats can't hold my fat butt in and I'll probably spring for Coilovers next...

Damn you!

Bad thing about buying a helmet right now is the Snell 2010 rated one's will be out in October. You loose 5 years right off the bat. Seems like they should discount them more than they do in a rating year.

Most clubs let you go back 15 years but I've seen some that only let you use 10 year old rated stuff.
