The old track safety link posted by Strokd85(thanks btw, I have looked at it multiple times) is dead. Is there a new link, and will the BMP rules change now that the track is getting updated?

If there is not a new link, does anyone know the helmet requirements?
Not just time but type.

helmet is required for 13.99 or faster in the 1/4 or 8.5 in the 1/8. Helmet is supposed to be SA2000 (im pretty sure) SA is not the same as a motorcycle helmet.

I just bought this, trying to be Mr. Legal Beagle, but it looks like I get to take it back. It doesn't say Snell 95, but it may be SFI rated? I will have to look when I get to the house. Anyone familiar with their strictness or this helmet?

The difference is that the inside of a motorcycle helmet is not fire retardant. A Snell rated helmet is. So they want people driving cars to have Snell rated helmets.

My KBC motorcross helmet is a Snell aproved helmet.

M2005 is a snell approved helmet without the nomex liner a SA2005 Helmet is a Snell approved helmet with the nomex liner.
