Just filled up yesterday.

You'll need a Snell 2005 helmet (I think that's the SCCA rule, seeing as they are insuring it), open or closed, but it's all about fun.
I'm not an expert, but it's the only time I can legally have the kind of fun that my car was designed for.
Do it for the car, you know the little bugger will love it.
 
Hmmm... I think mine (donated to me by someone that bought one too small) has a 2005 rating, but aren't there different ratings... like for fire resistance and rollbar impact? I assumed mine was fine because this guy had bought it for SCCA solo I. ...I think.
 
Current acceptable standards:
Snell – SA2005, M2005, K2005, SA2000, M2000, K98, SA95, M95
SFI – 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, 41.2A
BSI – BS6658-85 type A/FR

I'm not sure if the local chapter will be providing loaner helmets or not, I can check if you want.....
 
I'm good: M2005.
