5 years for a helmet is long enough if you wear it a lot, but I guess weekends only isn't like riding a motorcycle everyday. For eyeglass wearers, they have full face with larger cutouts.

First of all.....let me tell you why i have a full face for a long time now. I heard of a racer in a high 10 sec car that crashed, He brok his neck, IF he had a full face and a neckbrace on he would have been fine, as that gives your head a lot more support than just an open face and no neck brace.....
You guys have to remeber, this is your life !!!!
I would recommend that you all get a full face helmet AND a neck brace, even if your ET level does not require it.
I am always amazed when people dont look at what the safety issue us when they complain about certain rules....Helmets are certed for a pretty long time....Get the best one you can !
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

You dont tell one what to wear this is my Face!!
I wish there where more outlaw tracks around that didn't care at all. Id run in shorts and a wife beater but I'm not skerd and really not all that concerned. I spent way to many years running motox and street racing bikes which is way more dangerous. I'm way safer in the car no matter what I am or am not wearing.
Just hangin around my girlfriend is way more dangerous than racing. Maybe I should wear my full face around the house.
