Impact Clothing Date

Charlie Yannetti · 05-05-2010, 10:12 AM

At the recent points race at Atco, none of my Impact driving gear would be accepted.. Yup, I said NONE!!.. unless accompanied by a letter from Impact verifying the "ACTUAL" Date of Manufacture.. receipts and invoices were unacceptable.. the handwritten dates on the tags were basically deemed fictitious..

My belts were accepted because they had an SFI tag punched with an acceptable date.. my helmet was accepted because it is Snell rated, not SFI rated..

I am attempting to return all my Impact stuff as it is all less than 3 weeks old and unacceptable without a letter.. my thought is, eventually the letter will also be unacceptable as the suit or gear may be more than a fews years old and just taken off of the shelf by someone with a Sharpee who puts a date on it.. NHRA Tech has this question in their minds and I'm not taking another chance..
