I doubt SFI would pull a prank like that on their own website.

Not entirely. Just products manufactured in 2009-10 are staying certified. 2008 and earlier are still decertified.

As Joe said, this only applies to Impact's products produced in 2009-2010. Seems that there as still issues with earlier products.
One of my circle track friends said that the tracks that they race on have a ban on Impact products in effect. |

You clowns were SO eager to jump on the bandwagon when SFI whined that they hadn't gotten their $ from Impact (and that is all that label really is IMO....a licensing fee). Now they have rescinded a large part of that claim, and you are trying to minimize it. For the record, I don't GAS whether Impact lives or dies...but the double standards on display here boggle the mind. Professional Racing and Driving Coach |

I am not trying to minimize it. Seriously, rules are rules and Impact broke them. I wouldn't use there stuff. Between this and the phony HANS anchors thing, they are damaged goods. I suppose this is good news for those who may have bought a $900+ dollar within the last 12 months and now will not have to replace it. |

I am only interested in full & fair disclosure, which I provided. I am not sure which is worse: Impact's chronic denial or SFI's chronic financial shakedown scheme.

At least in my case, that's because I support certification bodies charging a nominal fee to fund their activities, but I don't support safety equipment manufacturers secretly skipping the parts of the standards they didn't feel like complying with.
Don't forget that last year they also had a suit decertification because they "[did] not fully comply with the minimum standards set forth in the SFI Specification 3.2A Program". So, three strikes at this point. There needs to be a certain level of "trust" when it comes to the purchase of safety equipment. FWIW, I would not wear anything from Impact, based on recent events and past paddock 'talk' regarding issues such as this. |
