LOL - "6 available"

I always thought it was odd to name your personal safety racing gear company "Impact"... ...in racing, isn't that something you want to avoid? It's like naming an energy drink "Narcolepsy" or tooth paste "Decay".
I should be able to get my belts back from Imapct before the 90 day deadline expires. :~) I for one trust Bill Simpson's products.

Don’t anybody do anything rash. Give us a week or so to see how this plays out. I have already heard rumors that there may be a solution.
As mentioned helmet are not affected they are Snell not SFI. This involves suits, nets and belts.

Guess it's time to sell Bill Simpson an M3 Bimmer that is actually a Ford Fusion but has M3 tags on it......LOL.
i am likely not the only one but i sent an e-mail to John Bauer (SCCA Club Racing Technical Manager)
John,
Could you please provide me with a list of SFI certified products that will acceptable to SCCA for the useful life of the products?
For example:
Belts for 2 years as per the GCR.
Suits as normal wear allows.
Given that SFI can de-certify its previously certified products after my purchase, I want to ensure that I am buying something that both meets the rules and can be utilized for its expected useful life.
Especially with regards to new equipment such as Head & Neck Restraints that have been recently mandated.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could reply or post an advisory of SFI's policy implementation and its impact to our club.
Thanks,
Tom
with link to SFI and quoted their release.
i have a hard time believing that equipment bought before the "de-certification" date can retroactively be de-certified.
but since SCCA essentially mandates several SFI approved pieces of safety equipment, i want to know what ones are SCCA approved pieces of SFI approved pieces.
1985 CRX Si competed in Solo II: AS, CS, DS, GS
1986 CRX Si competed in: SCCA Solo II CSP, SCCA ITA, SCCA ITB, NASA H5
1988 CRX Si competed in ITA & STL
Note that the SFI claim is over fake labels, and it specifically does NOT state that the products don't actually meet the certification standards...just that the LABELS didn't come from SFI.
Now, the products COULD be unsafe.... or not.
