Carnac Kronus
Look for a beginner visored helmet for the track.
Anyone have much experience with the Carnac Kronus?
Blatantly inspired by the Mk1 Bambino. More looking for user reviews in general use at the track.
Thanks in advance!

annoyingly I missed out on a steak on a bambino a few weeks ago, and haven’t seen one at a good price since.
im not set on the bambino (having never tried one for size/fit)

Hm. I may buy one. I have a Bell Javelin, and what I found when I started researching is that everyone seemed to start with "when the Javelin came out it was good, but now it's pretty slow, so we're going to compare all the fast helmets with the slow Javelin".
I was worried about doing the "tail air brake" thing but it seems that I'm good at not sticking the tail up. So maybe the Javelin isn't bad. But I have no data, and I hope to have a day at a track where I can do some Chung kind of laps. I'd like to try a couple different helmets, and the Carnac Kronus was one of the helmets I wanted to try.

Are the Carnac Kronus legal for use in the US? I don't know what the criteria is for legal helmets.
