Default Here are the rules....

Looks like snell rated Motorcycle helmets are OK by SCCA rules... FYI

How do I know if my helmet meets the necessary Snell specifications?
Always check your club rulebook to determine what helmet specifications they require. SCCA Solo rules, for example, will allow you to use the current Snell specification, as well as the previous two Snell specifications. So, for the 2006 season, you could use Snell Snell M95/SA95, Snell M00/SA00, or Snell M05/SA05 helmets. Snell M90/SA90 helmets would not meet requirements after October 1, 2005.

Some other racing organizations will allow you to use the current Snell specification and only the previous Snell specification, so read your rulebook carefully.

Also, be sure that your club will allow the use of Snell "M" rated helmets. SCCA Solo does allow these helmets, although some organizations that run high speed events will require Snell "SA" rated helmets<ul><li><a href="http://www.soloracer.com/helmettech.html">http://www.soloracer.com/helmettech.html</a</li></ul>

Default If you can find someone to do that...good luck. Most>>>

folks with helmets do not like to share...especially in the heat...nothing personal...

It'll occupy no luggage space if you just wear it up. ;-)
