What is the helmet requirement for a stock C6? And can registration be done on Sat. morning?

nmcajeff

M2000 or SA2000 minimum requirement on helmets. If you look under the padding on the inside of the Helmet the decal with the rating should be in their if it does not have the decal then the helmet is not legal. The decal is a orange color Most helmets are M2000, SA2000 or M2005 or SA2005. The SA is a fire retardantm spec meaning the cloth in the Helmet can withstand a certain amount of heat before it burns. Yes you can register at the event on Saturday.
