helemt visor (Bell)
i got a quick question,
i know that there are some open face helmets, but i got a full face helmet and it doesnt have a shield. do i really need one? do i need one to satisfy regulations on the track/autoX? or does it not matter?

Hi,
No, you don't need the face shield on the Helmet to pass tech. If you're sitting behind a windshield, you don't need it anyway, it'll just make things unbearably hot...

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
