please note that i am not trying to take anything out of context from this other post:

http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=19384&start=30

please read it at the above link. i have no issue with what Greg is stating in the above but here is an excerpt that references that others are now requiring SFI.

I just got an e-mail from another organization that I used to race with telling me that I must comply with a 38.1 certified HNR by February '08.

does anyone know what other sanctioning bodies are doing this?

if it has been mentioned here in other threads then i have either missed it or fallen victim to CRS again. i am interested in this for something that is completely divorced from the nasa debate.

I really liked your "irony" post there, so here's mine.

i completely missed that!

i am completely unaware of how the internet ads work. is that being applied to all threads or do they target a thread that has keywords like head and neck in it.

this is one of the reasons that i think a sanctioning body as a for profit business does not work well. they are selling advertising to a company that is part of the SFI that they require their racers to use.

it may not be black helicopters but it sure is one of those things that make you go hmmm.....

p.s., i do not consider ICMS to be a sanctioning body
 
Oh, yeah - sorry. I figured everyone involved knew that NASA and SCCA are SFI members. That's kind of part of how the system works.

Rally America:

"D. SFI 38.1 licensed, or FIA 8858-2002 approved head and neck restraint systems are recommended, and required for all Rally America events as of 1/1/08. When fitted, these systems shall be mounted per the manufacturer's recommendations and shall not violate the single latch requirement of the occupant restraint system."
 
Jim,

thanks for the irony on that one too. i missed it.

i will ask some rally guys more about that as well.

but that one appears to be effective 1/1/08 as opposed to something happening in february.

any others?

That has to be one of the most interesting things I have seen in ALL of this. The organization feels that they NEED to specifically state the single point of release.
 
BMWCCA club racing also requires 38.1 this year. [/b]

Actually, I think BMW racing required an SFI device in 2007 (beginning in April I believe).

On the ICMS web site the HANS logo is not an ad per se. HANS is actually a sponsor of the organization.
 
** BMWCCA joined SFI and began requiring 38.1 devices maybe a year before SCCA made its initial move to consider the issue, on the heels of a fatality at one of their events

** A dude named Joe Marko was (maybe still is?) the BMWCCA national safety guy at the time of that move

** He runs a company that is a Hans dealer and he makes speaking appearances as a "safety expert"

4. After June 1, 2008, a head and neck restraint meeting either the standards of either SFI 38.1 or FIA 8858 will be required.
 
NHRA as of 2007[/b]

Quite amusing, looking through that vast list of SFI-spec products that NHRA is requiring this year.

Hell, I'm kinda shocked they're not requiring SFI-spec taillights...
 
I like the SFI spec 7.2 diapers ... (aka, lower engine containment device)
