Get the 2000, many clubs will disallow Snell95 in the next year or two.

Default cycle helmets generally don't have the fire resistant liner (nomex) required ..

for track racing. They are usually accepted for autocrossing though.

Default Some will, so long as it is within their current rev

that may mean M95 or M00. Check with whomever is sanctioning the event.
