Track day helmets
Does anybody know whether any track day organisers or track days in particular require helmets that meet any set specification??

For Aintree, Liverpool Motor Club specify a minimum specification of MSA Type A and state
that BS6658 type B is not considered suitable.
Has anyone had a problem at Aintree?

Just about any helmet sold today conforms to the basic requirements of a track day - if you want to race then that's another matter.

Rember its the BMF Bike show is next weekend at Peterborough showground.
I got two brand new Gold Stamp ACU approved helments for £30 each, plus a load of other biker gear, as I have no windscreen at all on the Viento.
It proved its worth on the way home from Stoneleigh, as I got drenched about 6 miles from Home but did manage to dodge all the other showers on
the way home.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I got a 'Nitro' one on eBay for less than £30 - quite a good helmet too and has ACU approval

Picked up a dainese jobby at my local bike shop in the sales heavily reduced.
Was planning on getting a bike at the time, but building my own car seemed a better idea. 
Still, it'll come in handy as i'm going the aeroscreen route!
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

I got a Nitro helmet at my local bike shop for £35. It's crap for misting up but I only use it at the moment for the 1.5 mile Moped trip to the
railway station everyday.... yes i know, moped blah blah......
When i get the car on the road i may need to look for something a little better that won't fog up all the time - and yes i have tried anti fog
sprays and all sorts - none work properly

Dave, I think you will find the demisting system works fine at normal road speeds - a moped just wouldn't be fast enough
