Those who have been to Buttonwillow, do they require a helmet?

Um yeah. Any opentrack event will require a helmet
I have a Bieffe, and Bell also makes good ones. Those are the only brands I've really heard anything about (haven't been doing this very long). The most important thing is to be sure it fits properly. The salesperson should be able to help you out with that.
Have fun at the event and try to learn. It's a total blast.

duh. Of course. I have a Simpson open face. Although, I'll be getting a closed face soon...
Depends on your head. My noggin's big, so Simpson fits better. Bell is for smaller egg shaped heads (j/k). Bieffe also tends to run smaller.
Try them on. Make sure they fit snugly and then order from places like Racerwholesale.com.

Yeah. I have to wear glasses too....
And in the 103 degree Buttonwillow/Thunderhill heat, a full face is no picnic. Neither is glass shards in my lip and nostrils, so I'll be ponying up the 3 bills+ for a full face.
Where did you get your Bell M2? Did you try it locally? Where.
I got my Simpson at Simpson World. When I told them I needed a helmet that wouldn't me hindering looking at right hand turns, they looked at me funny. ;-)
