Snell helmet ratings allowed for 2017

[ConeEater]

Ok... I looked back a bunch of pages before I started this.

What's both the SCCA and etr policy for what's going to be allowed for this year?

I have a snell sa2005 helmet. Is that still useable for both local and national events our is it time to get a new one?

Better to ask now than 2-weeks before dixie

Your helmet should be good until 2020 season.

I think it's the current standard (2015) and the two previous (2010, 2005)

I read if the 2005 helmet in question is in good condition it's use is extended until January 1, 2017

currently... not a good extension..

That's what I thought. Back when the 2015 helmet came out late, they talked about extending it one more year. I thought that it was no good after last year.

It gets confusing sometimes. Probably ferrying a new closed face anyway since I think I'll be doing more track stuff in the future.

The 2000's were the ones that aged out with the new standards.

Looks I need to take another look on my European buckets for the different stickers.

WOW!!!

[walk6602]

Who knows of a place online or local with reasonable cost for helmets?

[MARKP]

I got mine at Cycle Supply off Cedar Bluff. Not the cheapest around but I got to try different ones.
