The moment for my driving school draws nigh and, alas, I have no helmet. I've checked many dealers on the web and the least expensive seems to be the Mag-4 (Bell). I even have bid on one on Ebay. I hate to spend $230 on a helmet I may not use again (of course, if I like this, I'll be using it a lot). Any other outlets where I might get one used for less?

I think that someone will have six avail. for track events but not sure. Will check. Private me to remind me if so.

I was told there will be some helmets for use, but not too many. I am just like you. I don't want to spend that much money on something I may not ever use again.

The NSX Club of America has six helmets in various sizes that will be available as loaners on a first-come, first-served basis.

Also remember that when one group is out running there are 3 groups waiting to go out so if you can convince someone else you are free of head lice you'll get a helmet.Toothbrush is another story.

Well, I would love to borrow one if someone is willing. I have no idea how big my head is though.. probably average..

You can use any helmet with a M95/M2000 Snell rating, You can find these helmets for as little as $70 at most Motorcycle dealers. I use a Bieffe Pole Possition helmet street price $100, but KBC, Bell, and others all offer helmets in this entry level price range. On the other hand if you are going to start a racing career you would be better off spending more for a SA2000 ratting on the helmet you buy.

I am not sure you want to use someone elses helmet after a 20 min. session, it may be less than fresh smelling after they are done.

Good Luck,

Dave

I believe I have an extra HJC large M95 helmet around in good condition if anyone wants to buy it for $50. It is the open face style in dark burgandy.

Yes for NSXPO 2002, as noted here.

However, other groups hold track events which might require an "SA" helmet, so consider that when evaluating a possible purchase.
