    I need a helmet since I will be running below 14.0 this time out.

    Needs to be Snell 95, 2000, or 2005

    I don't need anything fancy or epensive; I also don't know if I should go with a full face helmet or an open helmet. Seems like a full face helmet would be a distraction but I've never raced with either.

    Any suggestions??

    Motorcycle helmets differ from racing helmets in that they don't have to meet minimum standards for fire resistance.

    that depends, its not like they are going to inspect your helmet, as long as you got one. 795.0Pacecar uses his old bike helmets. I am prettty sure thats what he said when we went.

    My full faced Simpson helmet ran me about $300, but I think my face is worth it, hah.
