Helmets

You have a roof? What for?

Dave, don't you know a true sports car when you see one?

From the latest FasTrack (note that this concerns Solo rules, only) -

SAFETY
ITEM 2) Amend the previous proposal concerning helmets in Solo events for 2010:
4.3.1, first sentence – Change: “All helmets meeting the following standards must be worn while on course: All helmets meeting
the current or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation standards (SA, K, or M SA2005, SA2000, SA95, M2010, M2005,
M2000, M95, K2005, K98), or SFI standards 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, or 41.2A, or British spec BS6658-85 type A/FR are
acceptable. Helmets meeting British spec BS6658-85 A/FR are also acceptable.
ITEM 8) 4.3.1, first sentence – Change: “Helmets meeting one of the following standards must be worn while on course:
Snell SA2010, K2010, M2010, SA2005, K2005, M2005, SA2000, K2000, M2000, SA95, K98; SFI 31.1, SFI 31.1A, SFI
31.2A, SFI 41.1, SFI 41.1A, SFI 41.2A; BS6658-85 Type A/FR.”

Comment: After receiving member comments, the Snell Helmet Safety Standards were re-examined with a follow-up e-mail

to the Snell Memorial Foundation. Because of changes in helmet testing, Snell will have two concurrent motorcycle helmet
standards in effect – M2010 helmets are available now and also M2005 helmets will continue to be certified through June 30,
2011. (This is the same ending date for certification testing of SA2005 and K2005 helmets.) Basically, Snell will have an unusual
situation in 2010 – two current motorcycle helmet standards at the same time.
