You have to be wondering what is going throught JF's head after this with Ashley running this class.

I put this on another bb but, I need to spread the idea. I hate of sound like a PSA but, while you are thinking of someone elses welfare, take some time and take care of your own! Check out your safety gear! Snell 95 helmet are now out of date. Open up your wallet and make certain you are safe.

God bless Eric, his family and team.

How do you tell the date on the helmet?

I would put money on John Force pulling his daughter out of the funny car class. Like the mechanics that work on them say, "I wouldn't get out of the electric chair to drive one of those things".

Too many things can go wrong and often do!

I would be suprised if he did pull her out. Racers are racers. They know the risks every time they climb into their car. The team may take a race or two off, but he and Ashley will be there in the end.

The sticker will be inside the helmet it will either be M or SA and a year (95,00,05). You should also find build date. For instance, my helmet was made in '97 built to SA95 standards. Time for me to get a new helmet.

If you are getting a helmet, you can find '00 helmets about $30-50 cheaper, but they will be out of date in 2012. '05 helmets will be out of date in 2017.

It's not that I can't find the date, I've never really looked! I bought a brand new helmet about 3 years ago just for racing, but really haven't needed it since I'm stuck in the 14's. I don't want to get to the track someday and find out I can't race in the 13's because my helmet is out of date. I'll check the inside, thanks for the help.

Outdated or not: 13's, 14's or whatever........... It's just good sense to wear it. I would guess that an outdated helmet would still be safer than not wearing one at all.
