Where can I buy a track helmet?
So I'm thinking starting to attend track days or AutoX and I know I'll need a helmet. So does anyone know where I can get one or anyone who is selling one directly?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just measure your head and order one online:

I measured my head at work by taping together a few pieces of 11" paper
...helmet fits perfectly

Check these guys out pyrotech, they have some nice helmets, great price, full face or not... I would have one of their helmets, just haven't got around to it yet.

edit: nevermind. thinking of the wrong place. i went looking for bell motorsports and i think they were out of business. i called helmet city to see if they have helmets to try on, and the woman told me they don't have much on site to try.
wine country motorsports out in infineon has quite a few helmets to try on.
