Time for a new Brain Bucket . . .

Alrighty fellow GRMers . . . It's time get a new helmet for the racing season (mine is expired).

Required:

• Under $400
• Big/wide eye port (Glasses . . . I haz them)
• Drilled for HANS
• SA2010 (edited - thanks Maroon!!)

What sayth ye, peanut gallery?

SA2010?

G-Force Racing:

• $249
• SA2010
• Designed specifically for glasses (and you can get tinted visors)
• Should have the HANS attachment (or may be an option).

I have the M2005 version of this helmet and love it. Great fit, even with glasses, and super affordable.

In reply to Maroon92:

Yes sir!!

In reply to Javelin:

Thanks!!

Aside to all:

Does TT require HANS device now? I need to get into my rule books . . .

Do you have a "square head" or a "round head"?????

I've been using Bell products since the late sixites and they seem to fit.

Any other comments? Ideas? (*) <throw tomatoes here

What are you going to do with your old helmet? I need an SA 2000 helmet for Chumpcar, and I'm broke as hell. It will probably only be legal for this season, but at least it will get me through the year.

I guess sell it to a chump car guy with a 22.5" roundish head and lots of Money? I "think" its a medium SA2000 Bell w/ small opening (no friggin' size tag - dang)

That's definitely one I was looking at. The other real contender is this:

Pyrotect Pro Airflow SA2010

http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/PROD/autosnellsa2010/proairflowfullface

It's available from a different vendor for the same $250 price tag as the G-Force above. Any thoughts on which people like better? My head is 23-1/8" around the helmet line, and about 8" thick front to back and 7" wide side to side.

Round AND square

I'm retiring a SA2000 G-Force GF750 (open face).

It's medium and fits really nice. The ventilation is decent.

In reply to 16vCorey:

Pay shipping and it's yours . . .

This looks similar to:

Damn! Chumpcar requires full face. I'd be all over it otherwise!

If you like racequip helmets, I can get a pretty good deal on them ;)

Yeah, I like the Bell name, and my buddy has one of those. The price is right, too, but that eyeport looks kind of small. Thanks!

Another vote for the bell..

I was thinking that too Duke . . . but tI like the price

Hey Kendall . . . I've never tried RaceQuip goods . . .

More info please :D
