I bought my Bell helmet from http://www.bellmotorsports.com/. I don't
think they are related to the Bell helmet company. I think I paid about
as much as would have from Racer Wholesale, but they also sent a free
pair of Bell sunglasses. The sunglasses are pretty good, they have
straight earpieces designed to make it easier to put them on while
wearing the helmet. They are a little cheapy, though, and I wouldn't
have paid the $23 they normally ask for them.
I think the Mag-4 is an open-faced helmet. That's fine for autocross,
but I would recommend a full-face helmet for driving school. I think
most racing organizations require a full-face helmet in an open car.
