First DE - Which Helmet?

[thstone]

I highly suggest a full face helmet even with a stock car and an air bag. Today's street cars are just as fast as many race cars. Most DE's use the same tracks as wheel-to-wheel racing and offer opportunities to go well over 100mph. At those speeds you'll want all of the protection possible. Several manufacturers offer full face models that start at $275 which is only slightly more expensive than comparable open face helmets.
