With Black Friday sales on tap, does anyone know if they'll be allowing
SA2015 helmets in Canada next year? In the US, every group I've spoken to
is grandfathering them in through 2026. In 2027, I'll need a new one, just
wondering if I need to do it sooner.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks Matt for jumping on this and the quick response.

Got the answer directly from Ted Michalos, the VARAC race director, 2015 
helmets are OK for the 2026 Kastner Cup.
