Need a helmet

Anyone have a good recommendation for a good entry-level (i.e. won't break the bank) helmet to use for x-cross and drag? Was thinking a Bell Mag 5. How about a vendor in South Jersey?

I'm not sure about X-cross but, in 2004, the NHRA required the helmet to meet Snell SA90 or SFI31.1A or better.

Yeah that was nice: x-cross. Guess I should think before typing - meant autox or autocross.

Im using a G-Force - Pro Force 1 for road racing. I think its rated at snell 90. I could be wrong, but i think auto-x has lower standards so that should be a good one. It was pretty cheap too.
