[Shotimes] RE: Where to buy a helmet?

[Donald Mallinson]

Also check racerwholesale.com for good prices and selection. 

I have a 7 3/4 size also, good company!  :)

I bought the Snell full face helmet that has the big opening like used 
for pit crews.  With a closed car why pay for a visor, and I like the 
bigger opening that lets in more air around the face.  Your chin/lower 
face is still protected.  Plus they are cheaper than the typical full 
face helmets.

I agree, wait till the 2005 snell sticker is available, and get FIVE 
more full years of use from the helmet.
