A forum (message board) has been added to aid in submitting helmet information. If possible, I'd like for everyone to use it as it helps me keep my email inbox from getting cluttered and it will help me avoid confusion between Illinois and Missouri helmets. If you would still rather send your helmet information via email, that is fine, but I would prefer to have everyone use the forum. It is here for YOU to use. Thanks!!

Finished Helmet Count: 479 out of 562 = 85.2%
