<p class="MsoNormal">I've been letting my race group know about the NJ 2015 helmet rule. Someone asked if Virgina, which they thought had similar state rules for motorsports would be doing the same thing. Anyone know if VIR will have the same restriction next

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