When does SFI cert. run out?
 
My belts are dated Feb/07. Are they expired as of today (2-1-09), or are they good through the end of the month?

In the past it seems the belts I had expired when there was a considerable amount of down time between races and I would put in a new set right before the next race. Just wondering if I am o.k. for the Feb. races with these belts or not.

Thanks

I beleive that would really be up to the tech inspector, and how the belts look. I for one would probably replace them, knowing they need to be replaced in a few weeks anyway. At worst, I know there will be some people at Bradenton's race selling belts.

Also if the belts are good on the day of tech (like on a Friday), the cert is good for the whole event, even if the event completes on Sunday.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Buying and changing out the belts isn't really a problem, but I figured since we only get 2 years out of them I should get all the use I can out of them before I toss these perfectly good belts into the garbage can. I'll go to Bradenton and Gainesville with these belts, then go by the local speed shop and pick up a new set during the 2 weeks between the Gainesville and Orlando races.

Ya know that round track guys can use them for 5 yrs. I give mine to a friend that races in a circle. you might try to sell them.......................

I use STROUD I send them in in Dec every 2 years & have them rewebed. Cost around $50.00. Cheaper than buying new.

Did the same with mine this year with RCI but it was a one time deal. Are the STROUD an ongoing thing or a one time thing. Need to cut corners where we can...................
