Guys, we are working on Helmets for the activities. The plan is to have them available for rent at say $10.00 each for each event you require them. Your rent fee receipt will then be your raffle ticket to win one at the end of the CAA event.

All proceeds, after covering our costs, will go towards the Childrens Hospital Benefit.


Tom 2112 kindly offered these rules about helmets.

Some info on NHRA helmet rules:

• If your car goes faster than 14.00 in the quarter mile, then you must wear a helmet.
• The helmet must be SNELL certified. (M2000, M2005, M2007, M2010, SA2000, SA2005, SA2007, and SA2010 certified are all acceptable, however, avoid M2000 and SA2000 if possible)
• If your car goes faster than 10.00 in the quarter mile then you must wear a full-face SNELL SA certified helmet.

Notes about helmet certifications:

• Almost all motorcycle helmets meet DOT safety standards, but that's not as good as SNELL.
• SNELL dates their certification. NHRA accepts the last 10 years of certifications.
• The older the SNELL certification, the older the helmet. Avoid M2000 and SA2000 and earlier.
• SNELL has two common certification levels: M and SA. M is for motorcycles and SA is Sports Automotive. The SA is a more rigorous certification, and includes fire retardance and side-impact with roll cages. SA helmets are typically quite expensive compared to M helmets.

Your suggestions are invited.
