Where can I buy a helmet in Orange or Los Angeles County? I've been looking with limited results. I don't want to order one and have it fit poorly.

Depends on what you want it for. If it's only for autocross (not track days) you can use a motorcycle helmet which are inexpensive and you can go to any motorcycle shop/dealer. If you want an SA rated helmet, Bell has a store in Costa Mesa.

My impression is that you can get DOT or Snell approved motorcycle helmets, and SCCA requires Snell approval.
