Could I use this helmet to Autocross / Go to HPDE's?

I was rummaging through my closet last night and found my old helmet my grandparents bought me for my go-kart which at the time was way too fuggin' big that fits perfectly now...

On the back it says "BELL, Snell Approved, DOT."

Thanks dudes

should be okay for autox as long as it's rated for at least 95. Look under the foam padding inside the helmet. Should have another rating sticker inside there.

shi - who doesn't recommend it for HPDE's though

It doesn't have a number, the inside just says it's snell approved as well with the serial number of the helmet. As I recall we bought it from a shop that sold snowmobiles and 4 wheelers.

Probably not acceptable then. FWIW, without a the year stamp I would not pass it at a Milwaukee event.

Hmm... that sucks, I think this helmet is a good 6-8 years old. *shrug* Oh well... I was going to buy a new one anyway

be sure to get a SA rated helmet if your plan on doing HPDE's also

is there no date stamp anywhere? Should be a manufactured date.
