Snell 2005 SA/or 2005 M Helmets Have Expired

[Cagare]

Just a reminder that Snell 2005 SA and 2005 M helmets are no longer permitted for use as per ASN regulations and cannot be used at SASC events. They expired on December 31, 2018.

We have just over a month to our first event, so there should be enough time to replace your helmet, if you haven't already. I am sure people can make suggestions on good places to pick up a new helmet in this thread if needed.

ASN should be releasing the 2019 Autoslalom rules in the next week, I will link it once it is online.

2019 Rules are now up. Thanks for the message Jackal!
