Thanks I knew this in my head; but your reassurance tipped me over.. SA2010 it is...

Just spoke with Jennifer at CSC Racing, in open face, they only carry the Bell Sport Mag SA2010 Auto Racing Helmets, but price is good, and this is a proper auto helmet.

She is putting one aside for me, they have an order coming in June 1st so hopefully just in time for Mosport DDT this weekend.

I want an open face as I'm counting on the airbags to protect me from the front and prefer the freedom of being able to drink my Starbucks latte while driving on the track.

Haha reminds me how I once tried to take a sip of pop before going out for a track session with full-face helmet already on. Did not want to pass the session, so ended up driving in soaking wet shirt.

BTW, only came to this thread because of the title "where can I ... TEST HELMETS..." . So far I've tested only my skiing & mtn biking helmets, and I would not recommend it to anyone. Trying them on is a different story, of course
