which helmet
First off, I dragrace mostly in St.E/T classes.
So my problem is when I have the handi-cap and I am way out in front running close to a 130 mph and look back at my opponent my visor flips open and then my head wants to get ripped off when I turn back around. I took second place this past weekend because I didnt look back and broke out. I ran a .49 on a .52 dial with a .505 light on a .500 tree. I had this guy beat so bad it would have been an easy win had I only looked back. Anyway what I am asking is what helmet(s) will not do this , what are you guys wearing and how do they work in that situation. I was looking at the Simpson Bandits, how well do the visors lock.

I have looked at several Helmets for the "Seeing Up" and the Suomy and OGK have good forward vision!

I use the shoei and have never had that problem. one tip for looking back, do the old dirt tracker look. look down and back do not look straight over and back. that will keep the visor down! well that is what I do and it works anyway.

My AGV x vent will pop up when I look back but I'm used to it. I can't imagine bracket racing without looking back.
