I went to my local motorcycle shop. 100 bucks finds a you a decent one.

watch out for them trying to sell you a new, but older helmet. I bought a new helmet last season Snell 95. Now with the new NHRA ruling , they no longer allow anything older than SNELL 2000.

Now I need to buy another one

I got my helmet off eBay for like 25 bucks shipped. I only use it at the track, so I wasn't about to spend anymore than I had to, free would have been nice. It's not like it has to be pretty or even protect you lol.

The local track techs around Snafu and I (TC, MN) are real hard-ons about helmets and ---- like that from what I hear.
