Helmet Requirement for Texas Raptor Run

HA HA..

I know right....They all have the same unique smell of soggy-dirt and Tecate

Yup. I washed my padding once, it was so dirty. I keep telling myself that I am going to buy a Carbon Fiber one soon, and it will never smell nasty... As if those extra dollars will keep it nice.

Well my chepo Helmet was NIXED due to no stock of discontinued items. CRAP! So I went ahead and made them give me a deal on the Cabbie helmet. Adding a retro 3 snap visor also. HAhahaaaa. What the hell!

Wash your helmet with a hose and woolite? It will come out clean and won't mess up any glue that might be in there. I do mine at the end of each season

I am bringing a couple of extra helmets too.

I always pull the padding out of my race helmet after every season and run it though a sink full of water, once I can squeeze the padding and it doesnt come out dirty I call it good. Still stinks though, can't wash the whole helmet because of the intercom wiring.

As a side note, if you drag race, NHRA requires Snell ratings for helmets. Anything faster than 13.99 sec requires a helmet.

Got my helmet. HAHhaa. Oh shit its funny on my melon head! I got it way cheaper than advertised because they screwed up my order the first time. $112 with shipping. Also bought a small retro visor / bill for it.
