Their requirements are not necessarily the same as RR. I'd use the NASA CCR or SCCA CCR to make sure I was getting something up to spec. If you want quick, easy economical and are willing to make a drive, IO Port will fit you for everything you need and it will be the right stuff safety-wise. Bell Motorsports in Oakland would be another place to go, or the Simpson dealer in Sac., Hunt's Race World.

Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Trying to learn as much as I can .... I realize what is the best ... full face and a Hans. And not wanting to get into the whole "how much is your head/life worth" conversation which never answers any real world questions ... I drove motorcycles for years and have heard it all ... I currently use an open face helmet. I like OF better because it's easier to use with my glasses and it just seems to be cooler and easier to breath. Whether that is reality or psychological is between me and my therapist. What head restraint systems are availble for an OF helmet? What is real protection and what is just hype? Suits ... 1 piece or 2? single layer or multiple? Do brands really matter?
