I need a couple as well. What are some things to look for? I googled it but all the different features confused the hell out of me.

not that any of the tracks around here actually check, but to run on an NHRA or IHRA track, its gotta be a SNELL certified helmet.

(my old IHRA track back home actually pulled the foam out of your helmet to check for the SNELL sticker )

Any input on vent, shield positions, or whatever else helmets come with. I just need 2 helmets for the car.

Picked up an HJC helmet. It wasn't bad like $120/130 something.
