I didnt really search too hard around the web but I couldnt find what the saftey requirements are for a helmet(for say 12-13 sec cars)...anyone know what they are?

will my motorcycle/snowmobile helmet work? it has snell/dot approval.

 

all this talk of fast cars and no one knows

 

I believe you need a Snell 96 or up rating. I think the only other thing you may have to worry about when you get in the 12's is a rollcage for some tracks.

Whats strange is last time I went helmet shopping there were some helmets that had Snell 2000 ratings but was no where on the helmet just "Snell" so I dont know how the track guys would take to it.

 

You sure it wasn't on the helmet? flip the helmet upside down (where you head goes) and start peeling back the lining, that's where most of the info is. That way it doesn't get painted over, or scratched off and stuff

so just a regular snell rating is fine?
sweet.

 

Well as long as it is 96 or newer....
