according the that article, only half of all randomly sampled helmets with the DOT sticker on them pass the minimal DOT standards.

depends on the track the min. rating for moroso is snell sa2005 i think now. Countyline is only DOT. but most legit tracks are gonna be snell sa2005

But also, if you can buy the best, don't hesitate. Just because it's a minimum requirement, doesn't mean it's what you should buy.
