So i took all my race gear to impact yesterday. They said it was all good. will usac let me run my impact gear?? Or am i gona have to go out and buy all new stuff?

I suggest you ask them directly instead of on IOW.

I don't know why you wasted your time and effort, whoever your santioning body is, the one who's rules you follow, will have the final voice, you could haul it all to SFI, and get their unabashed opinon, but whoever's rules you run with, that's who tells you what you can do. I still see very little, if any, changes on anyone wearing Impact stuff, so why get excited, wait till your rules people tell you, call them. Bob

I thought the Impact/SFI issue was resolved. Anyone?

Not sure of the validity, but saw this post on another site -

Hope this helps folks with questions about any of they're equipment.

Shawn, it's just like the "lawnmower" recall that someone has sued over, dates back to 1994, are these people "fully equipped"? I read somewhere the other day, that helmets weren't even in the fuss, maybe I don't get excited that easy, but whatever the outcome, it's gonna be a long while before anything is settled. I guess I got too much other stuff to do! Bob
