Price = sky's the limit, depending on brand.
Scona Cycle has always seemed to be the cheapest when I'm shopping for a new one.
What to look for = Snell M rating (you could get an SA-rated helmet, which would allow you to ice race, Solo I, etc...but then you'll need to step up from motorcycle shops to motorsports shops...such as Gee & Gee Racing in Leduc). M2005 helmets should be all that's left on store shelves, and that'll give you at least 10 years of Solo II racing in before it expires. |

Solo II (autoslalom) is Snell M-rating...as I wrote above, Solo I, Ice Racing, and Rallying, Road Racing, etc... all require Snell SA-rating.
Current is M2000, but you won't find any of those around (unless they're seriously odd sizes)...as the M2005 helmets came out in 2006. |

These events are Solo II (A.K.A. Autocross), so only if you want to enter other kinds of events... Like Miata Guy said -

If this is all you want, an M-rating should do fine. |

honestly just buy a SA rated helmet they are best bang for buck because of variety of event that it can be used for
if u just planning on going to few club events we have two loaner helmets |

| Why spend $400 when a $100 helmet will do? |
