I've wondered about the helmet question before?? Why would you not want a full
face helmet?? Especially when you are going 150+ mph??? I may be wrong by
saying this(And I'm sure someone will correct me) before Adam Petty's death
last
year the last death in Nascar was in 1996. I can't remember who it was in
1996 that died. But in less than the last 12 months three Nascar drivers have
died. Maybe its time for them(Nascar) to take a look around??
