I had purchased a Bell Full Face helmet to use when racing. Last night I went to LACR and was restricted from running less than 14 sec 1/4 mile without a SNELL approved helmet. Seems like Bell cheaped out on the model I bought so now I need to find a track worthy replacement before the Streets of Willow on the 13th. I'm now looking for a new Simpson LX open face helmet. I was going to order one online, but it takes 7-10 days before they ship it. Anyone know where I can get a good deal on a good helmet in the SGV/SFV/ AV?

Thanks SkiRacer,
After frantically searching google, I found and ordered this:
http://www.ogracing.com/eshop/itemdetail.asp?ses=2545550yx7tuksr2wz&itemid=538&showbrake=1 in black to match my car. Had them ship it 2nd day air and it's supposed to be here on Monday. Plenty of time for the Streets :D :D :D :D :D :D

I opted for the Darth Vadar full face look.

I just checked out their store:

$344.00 for the Bandit + shipping and tax. I just paid 299.00 with shipping still comes under the price direct from Simpson. Thanks for looking though. Feel free to http://wavmixer.com/smilies/lockd.gif this thread.

The nice thing about the store is that you can try on a bunch of different models and see how they fit. Helmet fit/comfort is important.

I have a big head, 7 3/4 and also want a black helmut. Looks like you could not have filled my order anyway.
