Not really off topic, I know. But I don't want to clutter the general with dumb questions.

NRS rules sez:
"SFI Spec 31.1/2005 or newer" Regarding helmets.

My hammit sez:
'SFI spec 41.1 / 2005'

This is, like, 10.0 better right?

Or as useless as the other sticker says it is? (Snell m2005)

Enablers, All of you.

"The FR specification is designated SFI Spec 31.1, Flame Resistant Motorsports Helmets. The non-FR helmet spec is 41.1, Motorsports Helmets."

I guess flame resistance is the important difference.

Ah, Okay. I wasn't aware that was the fire rating. No bueno then, Oh well.
