to quote (or paraphrase)an old Bell Helments ad:
"Got a $10 head? get a $10 helmet"
Afterall, its only your head and your safety. I would also argue that risks of head injuries are higher at a track than at a "low speed" autocross.
While I haven't fully embraced my own issues on safety, it is amazing how much someone will put into "modding" their car to make it faster/better/quicker but then won't put similar money into protecting themself in case of an accident. Guess self preservation and the ability to dis-associate your mind that "you" could actually get hurt are both pretty strong.
