Helmet Rule clarification...

It's come to my attention that some racers are somehow mistaken in their interpretation of our helmet rule and are complaingin to the helmet companies about it. Not sure where the rumor started but our rule has NOT been changed to 2 years. It is still 5 years from the date of manufacture. The rule reads as follows:

a) All WERA competitors must wear helmets which have a Snell ’95 or ’00 approval sticker, or must be BSI or EC approved and must be in good condition (as determined by Tech) and not manufactured more than 5 years prior to the current race year. Helmets must be taken to Technical Inspection and must display a WERA Helmet Tech decal prior to being allowed on the track. Open-faced and dirt bike helmets are not allowed.

We will also allow any rider who has accidently purchased a brand new helmet that is over 5 years old to use that helmet for 1 year form the date of purchase - however you do need to prove that purchase date by showing a receipt.
