[LUV Truck]

Hello,
I am in the market for a new helmet. What marking are required for European dragracing? Last year in Chambley, my brother got some static from the tech inspector because his helmet only had DOT markings and no European markings being that it was a US model. Next year, in addition to the LUV truck, I hope to be coming out with my Chevelle next year and need a new helmet. What markings do I need? Who has a good source with good prices?

Thanks,

[Manfred]

Still undecided. in my opinion, open face is more comfortable to drive a door car with, but...
