After sunday's autocross a novice asked on our region's message board about getting a cheap helmet. He got replies ranging from links where you could get an M2000 helmet for $60 and one even $49!

The site we raced at sunday was a military air strip with tall grass off the sides. The dirt wasn't always flat and smooth. In fact, yesterday and S2000 went off into the grass sideways-he wasn't the only one to go off into the grass. Now is it just me or this the kind of place where a good possibility of rolling over exists?

It just kind of disturbs me that people will recommend and use such cheap helmets. Am I being a little excessive here?

What's everyone's opinion on helmets in autocross?

i don't feel any need to tell someone that they are taking a chance that could hurt them..

it's not your responsibility


there is risk in everything.. cheap, expensive, it doesn't matter as long as it passes tech inspection



if you want to really take an active role in telling people that they are ignorant.. then i would suggest by starting with motorcycle riders that don't wear helmets at all
