I'm sure any of those helmets will be fine for drag strip use. I've never had a drag strip check the rating on my helmet, just usually that I have one or at most that it's not all old and cracked or anything.

Are you buying the helmet for dual duty of drag strip and for riding a bike/4 wheeler? I sure wouldn't want a helmet with one of those huge visors on it unless I needed it so I'd definately go with the full face out of those 4.

As long as it's Snell rated, it should be fine. Something higher than a M2000 is recommended. The rating is usually on the shell itself, under the padding/liner.
