I am all for safety. Racing at NHRA tracks in Division Six tech is taken very seriously! As mentioned I am all for making our sport as safe as it can be. However, I am a little frustrated with the helmet rule. More because I had a very well fitting expensive top of the line helmet that went out of date. My area of frustration is that I can go to my local speed shop and buy a $100.00 piece of junk Chinese made helmet that has a sticker on it that makes it legal. However, if I get into a crash I would feel way safer wearing my expired $1000.00 ARAI Signet helmet over the in date cheap one.
Just my 2 cents worth.
