Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

what's the best helmet for the money? i'm going to my first track event in three weeks, and i anticipate getting hooked so i figure i might as well get my own helmet. it was 112 here yesterday, so prob will get an open-face variety. is it considered poor form to run the a/c? i think i heard hurley haywood did that at some famous race so...
Bell make a nice cheap one. Just remember full face will help keep you from kissing the steering wheel.
Make sure you get the most current SA rating too.
Check with your local track and/or club before buying an open face helmet. A local track here requires a full-face type.
I recently bought a G-Force Pro Eliminator SA2010 rated full face helmet after a bit of research. Simple, comfortable, safe. Ordered online from Apex Performance; Good service, prompt shipping (no affiliation). Tip: sign up for their e-mail list to get discount codes. Paid $205 for it.
Also there is a
comparsion guide
put together by SoloRacer.
if you are un-sure of your tracking future...you can rent one from most clubs for like $20....
I have 2 spares I could loan you one for a single event too.....
I'd definitely go full face. I like chewing my food.
I always run my AC. A DE isn't a race so the couple of hp you lose to AC is really meaningless. Not to mention since you're just getting started with DE hp is the least of your concerns.

Completely agree with the fit. Nothing like getting a headache half way thru a run because it is too tight. Your concentration is blown because you are thinking of the pain in your head and not the road ahead of you.
I like the full face for another reason than posted here (i.e eating the steering wheel). Lots of debris gets thrown up and it can hit you in the face as the side windows will be down.
Just ordered an SA2010 G-Force open face (I have airbags) for $150 & free shipping no tax... from Safe racer. This should work fine for my Auto-X use. I have a full face SA2005 but did not like using it with glasses.
A/C running? In my area all events require that windows are down. Arai is a great lid maker but a bit on the pricey side.... comfortable and lightweight... If you are looking for a bargain you cant go wrong with Bell which is what im using. The sizing is the key... If possible try a few different brands and see what works best. Also, make sure you have a 2005+ rating otherwise you could be turned away at the track or made to use a loaner.
