If you run fuel, or a center steer car with the engine in front, no floor over the transmission, you need the SA helmet.

I drive a center steer car. A Snell M is all that is required by NHRA. SA is only required with a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous I copied this right out of the rulebook.

Even though it shows the 2000's, If you go to rule amendments you can see they are dropped for 2012.

That helmet has a Snell 2010 rating. According to the NHRA rulebook, that rating is good until 1/1/2022.

As we get to the end of the year some helmets are not availabel or some colors are limited. The Nightwish only comes in gloss in the blue.

Contact me direct for the best price.
