I have one.
I lost some weight and now it slops around on my head. Was doing more harm than good to my neck.
I'll need a thicker beard, or sweet mullet...

Unless you lost over 50lbs, your head shape isn't going to change that much. I swung +/- 25lbs at one point due to a deployment out east and my helmet fit fine after. At my worst, I was 230lbs and at my best, 200lbs. Same helmet last 10 years. Fits fine and passes all the fitment tests.

You likely didn't size your helmet correctly then. Here's a good video on how to size on for other folks (yes I know it says motorcycle but the same principles apply):

I lost 35, and I know how my helmet fit last year, and how it fits this year...

I'm willing to bet your helmet never passed the proper helmet fitment tests as outlined in the video. That's what I'm saying. A lot of people think they got a right helmet and it actually fails all of the tests outlined in the video.

Your melon dude. Just trying to dispel a few myths about helmets.

It passed.
Of the 35lbs I lost, 15 was in my face.

Jesus, you seriously need to see a doctor if you lost that much mass from your head.

That sounds quite serious. 10lbs can change an entire body, I can't imagine 15lbs isolated to only your face..

I think a bit of sarcasm/exaggeration is going way over people's heads.

Maybe I will gain 15lbs of sarcasm to my head and 20lbs to the remainder of my body soon.

The next doctor I see will be at my autopsy.

Did not improve on my previous PB of 1:23.83 but I did run consistent 1:24s all day with turn 6 compromised. They blocked off about 1.5-2m of the apex because they had to cold patch the track surface.

Still went fast and made the best of it :P

Fixed the car and went out Monday. Chasing a CTR here. First lap is a 1:22.64 and second is 1:22.25. I'm really struggling to improve. Seems like there's some mental block getting into 1:21s (I retract my 1:21 from earlier, phone GPS is highly inaccurate and I doubt I was even close to that time at that point; now I run a Dual XGPS160).

Alignment:
Front
Camber -3.4
Toe -0.08 total

Rear
Camber -2.8
Toe +0.10 total

That's even more camber than I'm running (slightly) and people said I went too far
Looks like you're a foot or 2 from the curbing on the inside of 8. I like to grab a lot of that curb but I don't have a lot of mechanical sympathy on track. I need to get out and see what times I can put in without blowing my motor again...
