DeTomaso Mailing List: April 2000, Message #376

The time I managed to flip my racecar, my helmet bounced off of the car
interior in several different places. The experience made me VERY glad that
I was not wearing an open faced helmet.

If your primary concern is your personal safety, then I believe Simpson is
the only way to go. You can get more information at their web site:

    I have been following this tread in hopes someone would list helmet
brands and vendors.  I will need to buy a couple for the Nevada Open Road
Race.  Any suggestions or recommendations on helmets and venders is
appreciated.
