Hey guys I need a helmet for Nov. 6! Does anyone have an extra helmet that I could borrow or rent? Or can some one give me a good price on one?

Pawn shop, motorcycle dealership, or yard sales. Those are your best bets for used/cheap helmets more than likely. I bought mine (even though it's a motocross style helmet) for $35 plus shipping through the Sportsmans Guide back in the day. The only difference between it and an open face helmet is the jaw guard and the big sun visor on top. Good enough for me!

Keep in mind that although it may work for Cordova, if you ever plan on auto-x you need a helmet that meets certain specs. Last I checked I thought it was Snell95 or better, but it may have changed.

^Good point James. I think mine's a DOT 02 version. I don't believe it has a Snell sticker on it though.

Eh, maybe. It's a good idea to have one anyway though. I know I wouldn't go down the strip without one.

At Vicary day they were checking the stickers on the inside of the helmet for the rating. I'm not sure what the minimum requirement was, I hid my helmet so they wouldn't check it. But I guess my car doesn't look like it runs 13's, cause they didn't ask to see my helmet.

It the interest of simpliying tech, just don't offer it up. If your not sure you'll run 13's tell them so. But if you do run a 13 after tech, they will probably ask you for your helmet in the staging lanes.

Well here it is guys the helmet of my future.

Please let me know if this will work.

That one's DOT certified but I don't see a Snell rating. Graphics are kind of goofy but whatever floats your boat!

Goofy Why I aughta! That's the best one I could find on my womans budget!

We'll definitly be able to pick you out at the track

Oh man your killing me. Dueces Wild brothers, I am a crazy man when it comes to racing. The addrenaline rush can't be replaced!
I just sent an email to them asking about the snell rating. And if it didn't to see if I can upgrade to one that does before they ship it. Hopefully they will grant me my wish.

They tell me it's not snell rated. So now I'm looking at this one.

That's the one I have. Looks like it does NOT have a Snell rating just DOT.

Time to upgrade Turbohcar !

My woman is pissed off, WOO-WEE! I ordered on of those reducers and got next day air delivery . It came to almost a hundred dollars. I don't think I'm going to be able to the fire out. I swear I thought I saw flames shoot out her eyes! :
But....... It's on its way here.

Reducers should only cost like $5 apiece. Try www.turbohoses.com or www.injen.com

EDIT: Looked up the one you need on turbohoses and it says it's $32.13 How in the world did you come up with $100?

To late !
The coupler cost $20.50, Clamps were 2 at $15.00, Shipping for next day air $37.00, And the smile on my face PRICELESS!
That's why I use Visa Card.

Silly kids. The car monkeys win every time.

Yeah, but it suck when you have to cuddle with the car monkeys when the wife boots you to the garage!

Yeah, There definately not as warm !

I talked to the people with the helmet I ordered. The one I showed that was snell rated only comes in a XL. So...... now I have went on another search and found this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=8005925882
And I am committed to this one, and ordered. Now I have two helmets And before I had none. Funny how that works out.
