Re: Driftwater 5 DEC 20TH.
Any new helmet will be ok. Any SA rated helmet would be best. I use a Gforce Pro Elimenator (I also use a HANS device). The biggest issue you are going to have is fitment. Everyones head is different. The Bell helmets may fit or it may not. If this is your first event you may want to pick up a motorcycle helmet. But if you really want an SA rated lid you may want to look at the rules of the other groups you will be running with. I just bring this up because the SCCA had and I think still has a rule that requires open faced helmets for drivers who's cars have airbags and is using the OE safety belts. Most other groups don't have this rule. Just food for thought.
I understand about the sizing. I'll contact the seller to see if I can return the helmet if it doesn't fit properly. I'd love to actually try one on but no one sells them in the 757. I've heard that there's a place in D.C... but i dunno where.
Anyways, I guess what I'm really trying to figure out is how will it be to ride around with a helmet for XX amount of time. Should I purchase one that promotes ventilation/air flow...??
Or is basic ventilation enough? I mean, I don't want to be sweating my face-off in there and have my visor all fogged up. Know what I mean?

My visor is always up and I don't sweat much so its no big deal for me, even during a 30-40 min session. Any one of the one you listed would be fine.

I don't drift so I don't know. I would think its listed on lookouts page. I'm sure someone else who slides on purpose can answer better than that.
