Where to buy helmet?
Hey guys, I am ready to get into some track and autocross driving so I need a helmet. Anyone know a place in LA I can get a helmet from? I don't want to order it online since I dont know what size I am. Any help is appreciated.
BTW the helmet I need for track events is a SA2005 right?? I went to pepboys and they had helmets that have DOT certification. Can those be used for autocross?
Sorry for the long post.

If you're in the valley....

In Burbank.
Most sanctioning bodies will allow SA2000, but it expires in 2010. SA2005 will last to 2015.
Some will allow DOT helmets.....
Some don't check what you have
I like the old Bell ad line......If you have a $10 head, a $10 helmet will do (or something like that).

any suggestions for features of helmets? I mean, other than protecting your noggin, air vents, types of visors, etc? I'm a complete newbie at this type of helmet. Also, are there lifetimes for the helmets? I know for cycling helmets, we're always 2 yrs of high usage and they suggest a new one, (UV breaks down the plastic, and/or way to get people to buy new ones), and any accident or drop of the helmet. Is it the same for racing helmets too? Thanks.
