Cool safety goggles the drivers wear

The goggles are pretty much the only thing I remember about this film (other than it was a simpson/bruckheimer production from their early days).
They are to me at least almost as cool as the glasses worn by marcello in Fellini's 8 1/2 (which I have been looking for for ages).

Does anyone know what they are called or where to get them?

Yeah the last drivers to use the open faced helmest were Dale Earnhardt, Jimmy Spencer, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. But they all run the full face helmets for safety not. The open faced helmets were a big danger in the case of fire.

Just so you know, they're called bubble goggles and Bell does make them. You can find them at www.thebellstore.com.
