The way I read that story, it has nothing to do with the quality of the product, but everything to do with the stickers. SFI sells the patches, decals, etc to the manufacturer's. So by impact having there own made, SFI is not getting anything. We all know that those stickers are not sold to them at cost, I'm sure that they have some sort of fee's attached. That being said, what impact has done is deceitful and was all done in order to allow them to make more profit.

For what its worth EVERY/ANY PRODUCT manufactured or distributed with an IMPACT label on it is no longer eligible to be recertified and as of April 27 2010 will nt be accepted by the racing organizations as a SFI eligible/accepted safety item--- NOTHING IS EXEMPT --shoes/gloves/helmets/suits /jackets/pants/belts etc.--- NOTHING the entire IMPACTproduct line is affected per SFI---Friend of mine just got a letter from SFI to that effect----SFI is suggesting you might want to go back to IMPACT or your place of purchase for a refund---Comp387

Regarding Dale Earnhart, Simpson was not found liable for anything. Earnhardt was warned for years by Simpson and other people he was using the seat belts incorrectly and stated that they wouldn't be liable if he continued to do so. He was notorious for wearing his sholder harness loose also. Teresa Earnhart received $0.00 from their lawsuit of Simpson. I am really surprised Impact would take such a risk in using bogus SFI labels.

Maybe I missed something, but what is NHRA 's stand on this?

Until their lawyers speak they're standing there with their fingers up their you know what.
There should be a criminal prosecution started in this case.

I have an IMPACT helment. According to Summit tech, they will not refund my money nor take the helment back. I have to deal with Impact.

I guess I am not understanding the statements that Impact Helmets are impacted....???? They are Snell Rated not SFI rated and SFI has nothing to do with Snell.

Maybe someone could try and clarify this....??????
