I am copying this two the St. Louis list and Team.net to try to clarify the
helmet issue, or seek a resolve to it. The St. Louis region is under the
assumption from the Mid Div convention this fall that for some reason
helmets must be Snell 95 or newer for the 2001 season. I know that by going
with previous rules Snell 90 should be ok, but something I believe was
mentioned at the convention that the people there took to mean otherwise.
Does anyone know about this ruling? Can anyone email Howard to find out if
this is true?

We bought ours from a local Motorcycle shop - a mixed bag of 90s and
95s that he wanted to get rid of and gave us a pretty good deal. But,
if you want to support someone who supports us, try Racer Wholesale.
Since they're loaners, fit isn't critical.
Now that you've raised the issue, Gail, this might be a good time to
remind EVERYBODY that the new (2000) Snell rating is finally out.
Came out in October - a year later than expected. That means that
helmets this year must be Snell-90, -95, or -00. Time to throw away
those 85s, let your kids play with them, turn them into flower pots,
or give them to Goodwill.
