i'm planning on racing this friday at orlando speedway (first time with this car), the car is bone stock for right now. I'm wondering where i can buy a helmet or even borrow one if thats possible from anywhere. what are some prices i might be looking at if i buy new? i was going to go without a helmet but hate to go below 14 and have to stop racing because i dont' have a helmet. Even though it seems like bone stock people are running average above 14 seconds right now.

Any motorcycle shop would have a Snell and DOT or straight DOT approved helmet. Some cheap a$$ ones too. If you were on a bike I would tell you which ones to stay away from but you're not so just get one that meets the requirements.

Don't get DOT only, doesn't pass the rules. Snell or SFI.

Here is the one I just got, I like it. It is Snell M 2005 approved. Less than $100
