i love this.. most the time when someone talks about buying a cheaper helmet people on here go off and ask what ur life worth.. is it worth putting a cheap helmet on it... so is it worth putting a cheap pad on your roll bar? racing is just like any other sport if you want to get serious with it i.e. go faster, u have to pay to go faster. and you have to play by the sanctioning bodys rules. look what the nhra is doing for pomona to the nitro cars.
