Re: autocross helmets

[Bagheera <st_gcurl@tarleton.edu>]

I used to use a Bell for autocrossing in The B' with my dad.  
Unfortunatly, it's been regulated to my motorcycle after the SCCA changed 
the rules for helmets a few years ago.  Wonderful helmet though...good 
vision, comfy fit.  Now I use an AGV, bes fit ever, but a small lip comes 
from the bottom to cover my nose.  Autocrossing it's good vision, but on 
the bike it sucks.  Both of mine are closed faced, but I drive with the 
visor up.  DAD uses an ancient bell open face.  It's the same size as the 
closed faces, but I don't like the fit around the ears.  If I forget my 
helmet at the race I usually turn a faster time with dad's.  He thinks 
open faces are better for me..I think I'm just trying to get off the 
track to get the darn thing off.  Sorry I just have the brand names and 
not the numbers.  You might go to your local motorcycle dealer and look 
at their selections.  Usually they'll let you try them on.  Make sure 
they're snell rated or they won't be leagle for AutoX.
