No, these are NOT the same as motorcycle helmets. DOT rated helmets have nowhere near the impact resistance of Snell/SFI rated helmets.
If you're buying for drag racing, current rules require a Snell M2000 or SA2000 or better (M2005 and SA2005 are the newest) helmet. Full face is not required, but you stand a very good chance of whacking your chin/face on the steering wheel in a drag race wreck, so the full-face is a much better option. Full face is required for most HDPE/Road Course events.
