[Shotimes] RE: Where to buy a helmet?

[Donald Mallinson]

Generally the SCCA will allow helmets that are up to 15 years old.  Thus 
a Snell 2000 helmet should be legal for most non-competition events 
(that may be only 5 years!) till 2015.

This comes from memory and a quick search on SCCA rules.  Generally most 
tracks and the SHO Club follow the SCCA rules.
