Default Want to buy a Helmet.

Looking for an inexpensive SA helmet for auto-crossing. Anyone have any place that they can recommend?

The auto cross is this Sunday. I was going to pick up one of those DOT helmets from Pepboys to get by but I'm getting mixed opinions. So I'm considering a SA helmet. Help a brother out?

I bought a HJC helmet off of Ebay for $70 shipped. It was the HJC CS-R1 helmet. It is DOT approved.

If you're just autocrossing, then you can get away with an M-rated helmet with most clubs (if not all?) in our area.

Thanks for the responses. Was also looking for something around LI, don't want to trek out to NJ just to get a helmet. I did look up helmetcity.com though. Seem to have a good selection. A little torn between a couple of choices. I just gotta go get my size. Would've really like to have gotten it local though. Keep the suggestions coming.
