Lightbulb Great Buy on Helmets!

Snell 90 rated helmets are NO LONGER legal to use in 2006 at any NHRA or IHRA track. Only Snell95 or later are good for 2006, and ONLY Snell2000 or later, are good for the 2007 race season!

Therefore we have worked a deal for those that need new helmets this year.


This is the deal with With Apex Performance:

Our discount helmet price (SA2005 only) includes a free helmet bag and shipping:

The promo code is NLOC-10-2006. Valid for 10% off for purchases of $150 or more on all products EXCEPT ATE brake fluid, G-force products & gift certificates. This discount is valid through 31 December 2006.

Thanks to Vern for doing all the leg-work on the discount!

Hey, BigD, looks like you've got a typo there. Looks like you said SA2000 when you meant SA2005.

The reason they can't discount the G-Force any further is that they've already got them discounted more than anyone else. And with FREE helmet bag and shipping, it's a great deal.

Apex Performance is mainly a road race supplier, but they've got the safety stuff covered pretty well. They sell G-Force, Pyrotect, Bell, Arai and HJC helmets. If you don't see what you want, call them and use the NLOC code for your discount - that's what I'll be doing.

Remember, this discount is on NEW SA2005 helmets, not outdated SA2000's.

No Vern,

What I said is that Snell 2000 and later are the only legal helmets after the 2007 race season.

I did change the post to say that the discount is on SA2005 only!

Exclamation Snell labels

To be a legal helmet, somewhere on the inside there will be one of the tags shown below. The SA is fire retardant, where the M is not. Some tracks do not check for the labels...it varies from track to track.

SA= For Use in Competitive Automotive Sports

The SA95 is good only through 2006


The SA2000 is good through 2011


The SA2005 is good through 2016




M=For Use in Motorcycling and Other Motorsports

The M95 is good only through 2006


The M2000 is good through 2011


The M2000 is good through 2016

Steve, I know it's supposed to be 10 yrs, not 11, but for some reason NHRA extended the 95s an extra yr. At least is seems that way to me. Don't know why.

Also, Linda said that some people are having trouble accessing the code on the website. It should be fixed now, but you can always call the toll-free number and order with the NLOC code.

If the sticker is not on the back of the Helmet, it usually can be found inside the liner of the helmet. I know I had a hard time finding a Helmet, finally got it from G-Force.
