Default Autoracing helmets in Socal

Can anyone recommend a place that is open today? Auto helmets specifically not motorcycle helmets, thanks

Even on regular day, I don't know a place in So Cal that have Arai GP5 in stock. Today is Sunday, so you are SOL.

Sunday pretty much puts you SOL. However if you are still looking today Werk-II probbaly has the best selection including Arai.

They are on Chestnut in Burbank.

i've heard that the donut ring you see folks peal off from their necks can be a life saver when using a helmet, as the helmet's wieght works to swing your noodle about, not a good thing. So that donut comes in handy. I will get one next time up for DE.

Cancer huh? Now I better be on the look out for that too ;-) can't be too cautious.

I witnessed it first hand, it saved my instructor buddy's neck at Laguna Seca when his student took him to the tire wall and back.

The donut saved his neck since they hit the tirewall sideways.

Me? I just buy a really really light helmet because I just can't get comfy with the donut.
