wera44 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have searched but I'm finding different answers. I'm going to do my HPDE 1 next month at Road Atlanta. I own a few dot/snell rated full face motorcycle helmets and I want to use 1 for the trackday. I know eventually I will need a SA rated helmet but I may not have one by then. So can I use what I already have? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braknl8 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 You will have to have a SA rated helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getfast Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 You will have to have a SA rated helmet. This is generally incorrect for HPDE. M helmets are allowed, current or last few ratings, unless there is some regional rule or track rule in addition to the national rule. Check the CCR and any regional rules as appropriate. In this case it's specifically stated at http://www.nasa-se.com/hpde.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I've used an M for many years at Road Atlanta when I lived nearby, so unless there's a new track specific rule.... CCR states that M is ok. Is Southeast upping the minimum requirement through some sort of published supplemental regs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braknl8 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 You guys are absolutely correct and I'm completely wrong. I apologize for posting incorrect information. I was looking at the ccr in w2w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wera44 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Bonus, I can use what I already have and spend my money on track time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
