Default Getting a helmet! Which ones are most current?

Due to the fact that I am going turbo this summer and am going to be running much faster times than before, I am going to be needing a helmet.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to which type/rating I should get?

G-Force are excellent helmets. Great safety for an affordable price. I went with the Bell X-15 and I love it

As outlined under Class Requirements, drivers in all classes must
wear a helmet meeting Snell or SFI Specifications. Snell K98 is
acceptable in place of any Snell M-rated helmet.
SFI Spec 31.1A = Snell SA, open-face helmet
SFI Spec 31.2A = Snell SA, full-face helmet
SFI Spec 41.1A = Snell M, open-face helmet
SFI Spec 41.2A = Snell M, full-face helmet
Drivers of all cars running 13.99 or quicker must use a helmet
meeting Snell K98, 2000, 2005 or SFI Spec 31.1A, 31.2A,
31.1/2005, 41.1A, 41.2A, or 41.1/2005.
Drivers of cars running 7.49 or quicker must use a helmet meeting
Snell SA2000, SA2005 or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, or 31.1/2005 Specs.
See Class Requirements.

Get a Snell 2005 and call it a day. Impact makes some nice helmets too.
