  • Helmet question

    I have a Snell 95M helmet I use for solo2 racing.
    Is this good enough for rubber to ice?

    The Ice Racing 2005 Regulations specify these requirements for Helmets:
    Page8 Section 3.0

    "All drivers and passengers shall use a helmet conforming to:
    i) Snell 90M & SA
    ii) Snell 95M & SA
    i) Snell 2000M & SA"
    http://www.casc.on.ca/documents/iceraceregs05.pdf

    According to the solo2 regulations Snell SA rated helmets are required for cars with roll cages. I know these helmets cost alot more then the regular motocycle type Snell M rated helmets we solo2 guys use.

    Is a Snell SA rated helmet required for ice racing without a cage in the rubber to ice classes?

    SA rated helmets aren't required in any class at all.

    it's not like solo where you need an SA for any car with a Roll Bar.

      Well G,

      As you have posted:

      "All drivers and passengers shall use a helmet conforming to:
      i) Snell 90M & SA
      ii) Snell 95M & SA
      i) Snell 2000M & SA"

      So your helmet would be ii).

        Thank you, that's good to hear.

        But I believe it's misleading because it says:
        "Snell 95M & SA"

        Shouldn't it say "Snell 95M or SA"?

          It is implied as a Snell approved helmet that have two models approved of the Snell helmet. The M and SA are both apporved.
