New Helmet - Suggestions?
Apparently I need a new helmet - does anyone have any suggestions? I like a large eyehole so that I can see what I am about to hit.

You need to have one that is DOT and or latest SNELL approval. Once you find that, it just has to fit your head.

I have used the Simpson Voyager and I think my current is the Bell Bandit. Both have reasonably wide eyeports.
Best advice is to go to a shop that have some to try on. Snug fit is important and you can get a sense of how much peripheral vision it will provide. Remember to allow for a balaclava if you wear one.
Get the latest Snell rating, which I believe is 2005.
Regards,
Jerry

Pyrotect
I just bought an open faced Pyrotect Helmet and bag from
SoloRacer.com - Schroth Harness Belts, Corbeau Seats, G Force Helmets, Bell Helmets, Autocross Magnets, and other Autocross Products it was $120 off retail. The one nice feature I like is you can remove and wash the liner. It is also a Snell SA2005 rated, which is the latest.
