We showed up at Bonneville two years ago and had to buy what the SCTA wanted us to run, over $2,000. for one helmet! We hate it, too hard. Before this happened I spent a lot of thime on the internet researching helmets, bottom line after my research, the $50. Pep bOys helmet did as good a job as the high priced ones, some researchers found a softer inside material prevented less injuries than the hard stuff , your call.
