Hello Corvair enthusiasts, my name is Chris Shade and I am excited to be participating in my first autocross/road racing event ever this summer at convention.  My question is, what helmet would you recommend for these events?  Obviously, I need the helmet to meet all of the mandated specifications, but I am also looking for the best "bang for the buck" if  you will. Thank you for your input in advance.

Blessings, 
Chris

Had a great time yesterday, in spite of driving down through the rain and 
aiting in the rain until registration almost closed to sign in. 
  Best course ever at Connersville; nice wide turn entries. I expecially liked 
he the big "U" turn in the middle right before the tighter  and smaller "u" 
inish turn.
   I especially liked the before an after lunch split. It gave me time to 
eplace my eyeglass lens which fell out at the start of my first run. So much 
or 3 dimensions. 
   In a way we didn't miss the survival school on Friday as I saw many 
oungsters going for rides with many "oldsters". Kathern Faucett being one of 
hem.
   I had the opportunity to take a lovely 17 year old athletic lady ,Kia, and 
er mother ,Heather, on rides. I improved almost  4 secs with Kia in the car and 
as able to take the "Survival " U turn with out lifting with Heather in the 
assenger seat. See; it pays to have a "Babes Welcome" sign over the passenger 
oor. 
   I brought the large, ungainly  Corvair because of a proposed shoot out with 
he other CP Corvairs. My story is: They were so intimidated by the thought of 
etting beat by a "Super Senior Citizen (over 70) "  in a turbo Vair, that they 
hickened out.
   Speaking of chickening out,I got to see several nice new cars in or on 
railers, but not on the track.
There were several Super Seniors running  (and winning); Jack Tovey, Lee 
iller, Larry Hartz, and myself..
  Let me know if I missed any seniors. 
    I left early to attend a Father's day cookout, but got home just as it was 
reaking up.
    There were lots of Corvair comments and questions while loading, 
unloading and running and lots of pictures taken. It was worth the trip 
just for the Corvair enthusiam.Every one
 likes a fast classic.

      Thanks to Ohio for supporting us.
