Confused by HPDE/Drag racing type helmet requirements?
Can I just go to a motorcycle shop (etc.) and by a helmet or do I need something more specific???

It can not be a motorcycle helmet. The minimum requirement is a Snell SA 95 or newer. I purchased mine at Pegasus in Wisconsin, there was a good selection and you get to try them on for sizing.

SA2005 is newer than SA2000. Any SA2000 helmet you buy now will be closeouts.

If you are going to buy a helmet I would look at a full face helmet......If you go carting you can use it...open face are not allowed.
Also if something does happen you face has a little more protection
Try to find something on the lighter side...you might have to spend a little more...It is much more comfortable
