Not to my knowledge.

Oh, and don't bother buying their photos. I STILL haven't received the photos I paid for from last November's event. They sent me photos of a different driver (silver Boxster) and have never responded to any of my phone calls or e-mails.

Nope. HPDE schools don't typically offer loaner helmets.

I run a full face helmet with the visor down. No point in getting hit in the face by a rock, either from another car or during a spin.

Wow, the pyrotect helmets are a lot cheaper now compared to a few years ago.

I have a similar one that I paid ~$270 for a few years ago.

Check out HJC helmets. I loved mine when I had it.

Edit: Not sure if motorcycle helmets are the same as track helmets?
