    If you haven't heard, here's the 2006 helmet requirements

    Solo Participant Bulletin
    Date: October 7, 2005
    From: National Office
    To: All Solo Participants
    Subject: Helmet Certification

    The Snell Memorial Foundation (www.smf.org) has officially released the SA/K2005 and M2005 helmet standards and the distribution of these helmets has begun. After 01/01/2006 the only helmet certifications that will acceptable for use at SCCA Solo Events will be:

    SA95, M95, K98, SA2000, M2000, SA/K2005, or M2005
    SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, and 41.2A
    (www.sfifoundation.com)

    As an additional reminder, please check your helmet(s) for any structural damage such as cracks or deterioration of impact-absorbing materials under the inner lining. Also, when purchasing a new helmet, size and fit is very important for the best effectiveness.
