AUCTION JUNE 6-16, 2009


14-time Champion John Force wore this custom painted Impact helmet during the beginning of the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.  Throughout the race season, Force wears a number of custom helmets including the Castrol Edge, Castrol GTX High Mileage and Night Stalker specialty helmets. Very rarely does a fan get the chance to own an event used John Force helmet. When asked why he was letting one of his treasured helmets go into a fans collection Force responded:

“I am excited to let one of my helmets go to a fan. I normally keep all my helmets for my museums in California or Indy. This is a great chance for a fan to win a helmet that I wore during the 2009 Full Throttle season. They can put it up on their mantle and look at it every day. I hope when they do look at it or show it off to their buddies they think of all the good times I’ve had so far in my career. 14-time NHRA Funny Car Championships, 1996 Driver of the Year and the only driver to win 1,000 rounds of NHRA racing.”

OVERALL GREAT HELMET AUCTION DISCLAIMER: A “Great Helmet Auction” helmet would be a great addition to any motorsport collection.  Most racecar drivers do not sell their helmets, so winning one or several from the “Great Helmet Auction” makes this collectible even more valuable!  If you are the winning bidder on a helmet you can choose to have your name or company designated as the winner (optional), and it will be included in all post-auction press releases promoting the “Great Helmet Auction”.  A “Certificate of Authenticity” will also be issued with the helmet to confirm the signature and helmet authenticity.

These helmets are being auctioned individually as part of the Professional Racers Owners Organization (PRO) “Great Helmet Auction” promotion.  “Winning bids will benefit PRO, a trade organization providing services and other benefits to professional drag racing team owners and drivers, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Racers for Christ (Team RFC), an organization which has been servicing NHRA for over 25 years.”  

DISCLAIMER: A Great Helmet Auction helmet is being auctioned as a motorsport collectible, and may not be used as a functioning helmet.
