Don't know if motorcycle and automotive racing uses the same helmets.....but this is my friend's business in San Francisco.

cool, thanks guys...Erik, I just hope I'll be able to afford a new one after this month is over with ! :)

Yeah.. we got the diff out today, feels like a bearing is gone. Hope to get it apart tomorrow and go from there. I think I have a line on another 3.38 for you though, so all is not lost!

Technically - No. M class versus a SA class are built and tested to different standards. Motorcycle helmets are built to be smaller/lighter and usually built for single impact and are not fire resistant - basically standards for motorcycles.

Automotive racing helmets generally tend to be a bit bigger, made for multiple impacts (typical to being inside cockpit) and should be fire resistant.
