Post by jspadaro »

Looking to buy a medium / 7 1/4 autocross helmet, anything with a snell rating that I can use in autocross to get started.

The club has loaner helmets - so take your time buying.

Thanks for the input. I know there are loaners and I know what loaners are like... That's why I'm seeking an old cheap one from someone who has upgraded to start out with in my size. :)

They have other colors if you search around on their site, but this one is the cheapest.

I've been using one for a year or two and have no complaints.

I had a Vega brand one that I used for a couple years and was very pleased. As I recall I spent about $75 on it.

I have a HJC open face that has been sitting in my attic I will sell you for cheap. It's a M2000, so it will only be good for a couple more years. But, I will sell it cheap at $15.

No, that isn't. It's a clay pot that my mom made a long time ago. It's pretty cool. Has a face on the front of it.
