I've been looking for a helmet for autocross or drifting event...
there are differences between motorcycle helmet and automobile helmet rite? such as fire resistance I assume... but motorcycle helmet is what everyone is using and it's cheaper unless you are trying out for D1 driver search or something.. I don't even know if they use automobile helmets...
anyway.. where are good places to check out in town? or online?

Hello,

You need to find out what helmet they require first. If you buy a motorcycle helmet and find out you need a SA helmet that would suck.

If you want a SA helmet check out http://www.240sxnationalconvention.org/groupbuy.html

go to a motorcycle shop and find out your size. head on to ebay and buy it there. you just need a DOT type helmet usually when attending the LVMS series. you're not going to go "pro" so why spend 200+$ especially when you dont even have or plan to buy a bike. just go for helmets around 100$. get something that will allow you to race at venues. dont go overboard because you'll just be wasting your money. ;) the LVMS guys arent picky at what type of helmets you use, so if you plan to drift there mostly, like me, just get a normal helmet. i got mine for 33$ on ebay shipped, try there.
