Default Where to buy auto racing helmet?

I will be going to Capital Raceway on the 20th and will need a Helmet. Rather than just purchase one of the internet I'd like to be able to try them on first to make sure my giant head fits comfortably.

Anyone know any locations around here that would sell them? I'd imagine bike dealerships would have bike helmets, but where would I go for auto racing helmets?

Thanks!

Yeah, but would you really be comfortable sticking your head into one of those?

Wall-mart actually carries helmets with approved ratings. I think 2000?

I have a massive head too. They have a fitting guide on that site, helped me out greatly and I got a very nice helmet for a good price. I do an enormous amount of motorsports, at least one event per weekend, so helmet comfort is something I can highly understand.
