New England Dragway Helmet?

[CanonShooter]

I'm going to run the Foz at the strip tomorrow evening. Their rules call for Snell 95 or later helmet for all sub 14-second cars. Does anyone know if they are OK with a M2000 or later motorcycle helmet?

Helmets must meet Snell 95 or new guidelines.

[Pulski]

M2000 is newer than M95. Should be good. I'm not sure if they care about the age of the helmet or not.

Thanks guys! I gave 'em a call and they confirmed that a motorcycle helmet with a Snell M2000 rating would be fine.

They are usually pretty strict up there. I took my rice rocket up there back in 03 and ran an 11.17 @126.5 mph on my first pass. They called me over and said I couldn't make anymore passes unless I had full leather. The rule is 125mph and up. I argued what the hell is the difference between 125 and 126mph, but rules are rules.

Damn, I thought I was going to dip into the 10's for sure that day.

My current helmet is M2000, and they accept it. So you should be good with that.

They had a guy running low 10 second passes on his 'busa in shorts and a wife beater at the jacksonville speedway. :shrug:
