Also, Performance Cycle tends to keep a VERY large selection in stock (for trying things on, their prices are a little steep, IMO):

Make sure you read the rules carefully before purchasing to make sure you pick up something legal. Any old brain-bucket is not necessarily legal . . .
You want to consider too where you may end up in your motorsports "career." If you think you'll do some time-trials and/or road racing, you may want to go ahead and get an SA helmet instead of just an M. Take a lesson from me and try to only buy expensive items ONCE, instead of having to buy the right thing later . . .

If you go to RPM, ask for Matt. He can hook you up.

...and we do have rentals and loaners available, if you have trouble finding what you're looking for before this weekend.
And Matt at RPM is a fellow RMSolo autocrosser, and altogether stand-up guy. He'll know exactly what you need.

I got mine at RPM. Great place for helmets (and probably other things that I want but don't need).
