open face is good if you wear glasses or something, but yeah your face will get pretty dirty hehe. when i used to track, i would almost always keep my helmet visor flipped up anyway. but i dunno i think a full-face helmet looks cooler hehe, and i was never uncomfortable in it, so it works for me.
Bell motorsports kicks ass, i bought my helmet and some other crap there and the people there are awesome. a few other norcal folks bought their helmets there too last time i tried to organize a GB. but yeah, you jabronies better buy one NOW or art will become infuriated. and you dont want to see art when he's infuriated...
