Has any one seen this on Impacts site and contacted them to get this form they are talking about?

Attention Racers:

To remedy this inconvenience, Impact Racing can provide you with a Date of Manufacture Verification form for products purchased in 2009 and 2010 only. If you call the Impact Racing office at 317-852-3067 you can obtain this form from any one of our sales associates. You will have to provide a proof of purchase. Please check with your sanctioning body to see if this form will allow you to pass tech and race at your event. Any racers with products purchased prior to 2009 can call Impact to order new product at a discounted rate.

Just wanted to know when they posted this on there site? Has it been on there a while or is it recent?

I was on the Impact site two days ago, and, at the time, all that was there was the flack that I posted previously. So this must be fairly recent.

Based on all of the SFI reports, and the fact that Impact will not provide documentation for any suit produced before 2009, tells me a whole lot. There must be enough product questions about the safety of those suits to warrant that position by Impact. But the real key here is, IMO, you just don't know if a suit manufactured prior to 2009 meets SFI standards, or if it has nylon thread.

But since you don't know, is that a gamble that you're willing to take? 50% off the price of a new suit is something - but it's almost like Impact is admitting their guilt here. Like I said in an earlier post, I suspect lawyers will soon be all over this! After all, Impact produced a product that is now alleged to not do what is was supposed to do.....
