MSRP: $199 UNDERSTANDING HELMET RATINGS Most track day groups require a helmet carrying either a Snell M (motorcycle and other motorsports) or SA (competitive auto racing) rating. These standards are usually updated every fve years, with the 2015 specs expected on October 1, 2015. Most groups don't require the latest Snell rating, meaning that SA2010 helmet is likely still good. Each group will post their own helmet requirements. How will the SA2015 helmets differ from previous models? The mounting points for a head-and- neck restraint will become standardized and required. p The Simpson Voyager has been a favorite for years: classic styling from a long-established name. This helmet also offers the largest eyeport in their lineup. MSRP: $299.95 u Quality lubes in the engine, transmission and differential can extend their health and even prevent small problems from becoming bigger ones should temperatures get too high or pressures drop too low. Brands that cater to our market include Brad Penn, Driven, Lucas, Millers, Mobil 1, Red Line and Valvoline. MSRP: approx. $12 and up per quart "Quality lubes in the engine, transmission and differential can extend their health and even prevent small problems from becoming bigger ones."
