If they say it's not legal they rents helmets there for like $2, that's what I did for a while before I finally got around to buying one.

I use a regular motorcycle helmet and no 'face plate' or eye protection is required for drag racing..
You shouldn't have any problem.. if so you can rent one, as stated above..

You don't need a face plate. You'll be able to race with what you have. In Pennsy, you don't even need a helmet if you're running 15's (or is it 14's?) or hire.

Most tracks require a snell 95 rating or newer I believe. It depends how close they tech your car.
