Description
The Simpson Speedway Shark SA2020 Racing Helmet is a high-performance full-face helmet engineered specifically for the aerodynamic challenges of open-air racing. This White, size 7 3/8 (Large) model is built using advanced Italian molding technology, resulting in an ultra-lightweight composite shell that provides exceptional strength and impact resistance without unnecessary bulk.
The standout feature of the Speedway Shark is the exclusive "Wave Eliminator" technology. These specialized induction peaks along the shell significantly improve aerodynamics by reducing lift and buffeting at high speeds, making it an ideal choice for open-cockpit racers. Certified to the rigorous Snell SA2020 standards, this helmet meets the most current safety protocols for fire retardancy and impact energy management, ensuring its acceptance in sanctioned events through 2030.

Safety & Maintenance Information
The Simpson Speedway Shark is a precision safety instrument. To maintain optimal protection, the Snell Foundation recommends replacing racing helmets every five (5) years from the date of manufacture, as the internal protective resins and liners can degrade over time. To clean the white finish, use only mild soap and water with a microfiber cloth; avoid chemical solvents that could damage the shell's structural integrity. Always verify that your chin strap is properly tensioned and the shield is fully latched before every session. Consult your sanctioning body (USAC, World of Outlaws, NHRA, etc.) to ensure compliance with current safety regulations for your specific class.
