Well 1. its my event, so I don't worry about the "broomstick" test, and 2. I am so slow it doesn't matter... but seriously I have read medical papers that suggest that if you are in a street car, with the airbags and regular seat belts you are better off in a crash without a helmet. The extra weight of the helmet causes more injuries then not wearing one with all the gear in place. Now a car with a full cage, 6 point belts and a Hans device you should have your helmet on.
