here is a look at Dan Wheldon's final helmet, it was done by JLF Designs and was intended to be run at the Armor All Gold Coast 600 in the Australian V8 Supercar Series. Dan was to be teammates with defending series champion James Courtney at factory Toll Holden Racing.

note the two air ports...the new style port on the top of the helmet and the old-school side port.

here are some shots of his vegas lid, not the most impressive "vegas/gambling" theme helmet, but a very special one nonetheless.

I saw Dan on Saturday and am not trying to be an asshole. When he hit the wall it ripped the roll bar off the car. That is gnarly. I am curious how his helmet held up.

No paint job on a helmet, riding gear, graphics kit, colored rims or and other garbage has ever impressed me. I like speed and racing.
