Medium sized helmet to borrow?

Anybody have a SA2000 or newer racing helmet that I could borrow for Halloween weekend? I am going to do the MVP Tracktime event at Watkins Glen and need to bring my own helmet, but do not want to buy one. I have a medium sized head.

Halloween weekend eh? Not sure how much candy you will get dressed as The Stig.

As a side question is there a decent shop in cow town to buy a SA helmet?

Allen I'd lone you mine, but it would be a bit loose on you. Might try a pumpkin, they're orange.

Thanks to Aaron for suggesting Jegs and the Jegs staff for helping me get the helmet I need. Now I just need to get some orange tape of some kind to put a racing stripe on it and probably my name on it as well. Got a Simpson open face in white. If anybody with a medium sized head needs to borrow a helmet just let me know.

I hope they gave you a cool JEGS sticker! That would look cool if you put one on the back of your MINI.

Which helmet did you end up getting? I looked on their site and they have some pretty good prices.

Well I got a Simpson open face but it had to be the higher rating so it was around $225. They gave me no stickers :( I should have asked for one I would have magnatized it for the Mini!

I think they have them laying in a rack by the door. I live close to one if you would like me to pick one up for you.

One will not do it, he is going to need at least 4 of those babies.

Oh you guys are just silly, everyone knows what you need to go really fast are some Type R decals & a big honking rear wing.

Now that is funny, I was just talking about buying a friends 4 door Civic Si as a daily driver. Of course I was also thinking I would have to remove the Si wing and install a Hybrid wing in its place since I like that look better.

The hot setup is a park bench bolted to the trunk lid. Serves as both a wing & a rumble seat.

I thought your Cooper was your daily driver???

I would like to convert the Mini to a garage queen

Also a 4 door would make transporting 2 little boys a lot easier!
