Snell 95 is no longer any good. Straight from the 2007 NHRA rulebook:

Helmet

Helmet meeting Snell K98, 2000, 2005 or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, 31.1/2005, 41.1A, 41.2A, or 41.1/2005 Specs. mandatory.

From what I've been able to find, Snell 95 is still accepted at IHRA but not NHRA for 2007. The new Snell 2005 helmets are available and the Snell 95 rating will expire before the Snell 2010 helmets come out.

If you need a new helmet, get a Snell 2005.
