We do not race at Ohio Valley, and i do have a question concerning why not. My husband races a 7:60-7:70 car in Pro, and the very first test and tune of the year (it rained out) we came in anyway and had the car tech'd. Some of the thing we were told that needed fixing made sense, but the major thing, the reason why we havent been back is that his helmet is a Snell DOT approved M2002...the M being the problem...the guy, i dont remember his name, said that he couldnt run with a motorcycle helmet during eliminations. After that we passed at Lake cumberland, Clay City and Owingsville AND London, is this just a Valley rule? We'd like to run there next year, and need some input.

I am the Tech at Ohio Valley Dragstrip. I have been there every day the track is open the last 3 years years, NHRA states only you need a Snell 90 or newer to run PERIOD. hope that answers your question.
See you soon.

im almost positive that you were the one that told him he couldnt use it. we talked to Tom when we saw him at Jamestown at their first race of the year and i know it wasnt him. must have been some kind of mix up, because i wrote down everything that you told us, and the helmet was the very last thing. maybe we will try it again before the year is out.

yep, then it was definatly you that told us that, because it was a saturday. the first one that valley was open in fact. we plan to run at valley next year because its more comvenient for us, but do not plan on buying a new helmet, as the one he has is only 2 years old and hasnt been abused or in any crashes ect....so for clarity, your telling me that an Snell M2002 will pass tech?
