Helmet - Snell rating

[Danio]

I have a KBC TK-7 helmet. It has a Snell certified sticker but no rating. Does anyone know if it has a SA-95 rating?

Yez, it is SNELL 95 and DOT certified/approved. &nbsp;I'm guessing that you are using it for auto-x! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

Hey thanks a lot! Yeah I used it last time for auto-x and they didn't have a problem with it. I'm asking because I want to use it at the track this summer at the 240SX convention.

Is there any paperwork or official site or whatever I can use to prove that it has an SA-95 rating?

DrD - how can you tell it is SA95 without seeing the sticker? &nbsp;

There should be a sticker on the inside near or slightly under the padding that will have Snell, blah blah blah SA and then either 2000 or 1995. &nbsp;On my SA 2000 it is almost like a hologram that covers the whole sticker.

This is the ONLY way you can prove to a tech inspector that the helmet is SA95 or 2000.

However, after doing a 10 second yahoo search (shame Danio, shame! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> ) I think that you better check with the sanctioning body to see if they will accept M rated helmets. &nbsp;Sorry man...

I am 100% positive

That the TK-7 is a

MA-95 rated helmet.

MA is rated for motorcycle use. &nbsp;For AutoX, I believe all it's required is a Snell 95 rated helmet, so, the TK-7 will be OK. &nbsp;For drag racing use and or more serious Auto X, a SA rated helmet is needed.

Ack..sorry about that if I got the facts wrong. &nbsp;The site that I went to just said that it was SNELL 95 (no letters or anything) approved, so I just assumed that it was SA95 approved. &nbsp;Bah, are you sure Danio that you absolutely need it to be SA95 approved?

Alex says I can't use it. &nbsp;:\ &nbsp;I think I'll just skip the convention's track even then. Saves some money that way anyway.
