Helmets are REQUIRED.

Helmets must be an open face or full face style, DOT-approved motorsports helmets. Bike helmets are not allowed. Half helmets are not allowed. If your helmet makes anyone think that you remind them of Dale Earnhardt, it's not allowed. Oh, and bike helmets are not allowed.

Your helmet is probably the single most important piece of safety equipment that you wear during an event. Because of this, if you show up with an inappropriate or inadequate helmet, you will not be allowed to race. Most teams bring spares, so in an emergency you can borrow one from them. But don't count on it. A helmet that's good enough for this racing series won't set you back much. We've pulled out a few examples down below.

• DOT Approved Motorcycle Helmet 3/4 Open Face
• Fuel Helmets Open Face Helmet
