AUCTION JUNE 6-16, 2009


Six-time NHRA Pro Stock champion and 2007 International Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Warren Johnson  has made it possible for someone to obtain their own piece of drag racing history as he has graciously donated the Bell helmet he used throughout the 2008 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing season for this year's auction.  This unique offering is of particular significance, as it was used in the final year of WJ’s 26-year relationship with General Motors Service and Parts Operations (GMSPO) and their GM Performance Parts brand. 

In addition, Johnson used this helmet in capturing the No. 1 qualifying positions in Gainesville, FL and Bristol, TN, as well as setting Top Speed of the Event an impressive 14 times (out of a total of 24 races), including what was then “The Professor’s” career-best speed of 210.37 mph on October 11, 2008 in Richmond, VA.    Finally, it kept WJ safe when he impacted the wall during qualifying in Houston, allowing him to bounce back and set top speed at that race in his repaired Pontiac GXP.  It is the perfect opportunity to take home a part of the most prolific racer in the history of Pro Stock.

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.
