The Great Gazoo. LMAO!! That is what I felt like though.

So, that open face helmet is ok for the track? I will have one pronto if so, make it easier to get my freaking glasses on.

Oh, and I smell a ban coming on.

 

I haven't been told to wear a helmet yet at BMP.. Good thing the track i go isn't too strict. But, i do bring one with me just in case they tell me to wear one. This is what i use.> http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId=10497

 

It's all in fun Cuz'. I love the new Avatar tho!
The open face helmets are good to go. They make seeing everything better in my opinion. I've seen those G-Force helmets in person and they are a nice piece for the money. Hardly can tell the difference between the Simpson and the G-Force.

 

[QUOTE=BADMOFO]When I first saw this guy sitting in his truck with his helmet on I thought it was the "Great Gazoo" from The Flintstones! That was right before "someone" thought his truck was a Toyota.

J/K!

Yep then he snapped his fingers and ran a 13.25 the great Gazoo where are you thats some funny **** yeah I like youre avatar.

 

BADMOFO - That link to the helmet, is it to the 650 or 750? Does it need a chin strap? That is the only difference I see between the two.

 

The difference in the helmets is the SFI ratings. The higher priced version has a nomex lining (and prob. nomex chin strap). You don't need that unless you plan on trapping over 150mph (I think). Both helmets have a chin strap....doh! I'd prob. get the $90 one, as that is a great price. It's on sale, it's usually $139 I think.

 

Just checked a Jeg's catalogue in my library (bathroom). The 650 has a nylon lining and is in the book for $109. The 750 has a nomex lining and is in the book for $149. They are both on sale. FYI, the Simpson version, the Cruiser, is $149 for nylon and $269 for white nomex and $294 for black nomex, making the G-force look even better. They are nice helmets, like I said, a friend has one that I've seen in person.

 

Ordered!! If I look like Gazoo in this one, screw it, I will get Gazoo airbrushed on the side of it.

 

Actually, I didn't think about the Gazoo thing until reading this thread, but I was wondering where the space shuttle was parked at

You'll love the open faced helmet.

 

With the Helmets, make sure whatever helmet you get has a Snell rating, should be at least Snell2000 rating at this point. I used a borrowed helmet when I went a month or so ago and it had no rating. Luckily the tech guy let me use it since it was a Fri. night street legal thing and it was my first time to that track.

As far as the cage goes, isn't it 11.99 or faster requires a cage unless the vehicle is completely stock running between 11.49 and 11.99? (like the new Vette Z06s and Vipers that can run an 11 straight off the show-room floor)
