If you can, get a helmet with a Snell rating of SA2005 - that will offer you the best protection and you'll be allowed to run any course and with any group. For example this is the minimum helmet rating for any SVTOA track event.
Otherwise you could get a motorcycle helmet with a Snell M2005 rating - essentially the same as SA2005 except it has less stringent fire ratings ... for example the BMW Club I run with only requires a M rating and not the SA rating ... and this should be perfectly fine for Dunnville - as they don't list any helmet requirements on their website and probably leave it up to the event organizers.
I picked up a brand new Akai M2005 motorcycle helmet 2 years ago for under $100 when that big Honda dealership on Dundas in Etobicoke was closing out.
And John, considering the stock rear brakes are drum and handle about 10% of the braking - your stock SVT rears will be excellent.
