For this third helmet we created for Ida, we embraced her breakout year in NHRA as she campaigned her Rookie season. The design merges her iconic venom theme, which she has carried over from her bike racing days, with a bold stars and stripes scheme. A color palette was chosen to match the livery she was running with VP Racing and JCM Motorsport, The venom theme giving the design a fierce edge, while the patriotic colors highlight Ida's journey into the next chapter of her racing career stateside.
