I agree, but next time you go racing and the inspect your helmet and refuse you the right to race then feel free to tell them as well!
Alternativey ask Climbo who has a couple of nice lids from his time in the USA which are now no-good for Aus racing.
I was just about to buy 2 top of the line helmets before I realised I couldnt wear them in a race. (I have been checked before).
Good job my LBS are cool and cut me a mega deal (which is still $100 more than I could have paid in the interweb)
