Hi,

It's a Bell Motorcycle Helmet, either the Star 1 or Star 2 (Discontinued). You can probably still find a visor for it though - figure about $30. If not, contact Bell directly.

You might have trouble with Tech though - the Bell Star Helmet is only M1995 rated and your Auto-X will probably require SA2000 or SA2005 rating...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Hi,

Well, the Star 2 is discontinued and the Star 1, while still available is an M1995 (though it may have been re-rated), but it would still have only an 'M' rating.

If you're sure it's SA200 (on the Helmet, not the Box), then it's not the Star 1 - they only carry 'M' and DOT ratings (Motorcycle Helmets), though it certainly looks like one.

It could be an older version of the Bell Sprint, or Multi Sprint Street Racing Helmet, but the current one is SA2005 rated, not SA2000...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Jim,
the pic i posted w the rating is a picture of the back of the helmet, not the box.
inside the helmet is has 'vehicle helmet instructions'...like telling you to make sure straps are on and whatnot....

i just emailed Bell with pictures and ill have them hopefully identify it and give me more info on the shield

FWIW - The Chicago PCA requires either a M or SA rated helmet for autocrosses. For DE they require a SA rated helmet.

Check out page 41 of the March edition (you can see it on the website) and let me know if you read it the same way I do.
