looks like this is the demise of IMPACT.
i cant see anyone buying another product from IMPACT unless that anyone has no previous knowledge of this serious incident.
i know for one that i'll never buy anything from IMPACT in the future.

I just bought a new helmet from their Brownsburg showroom last September. I know the helmets are snell and not SFI but I am still uncomfortable.

I feel pretty comfortable about all my Impact stuff except I'll most likely only be able to salvage the helmet out of this

Still awaiting the verdict

Sounds like an employee whose conscience may have got to him and stepped forward. IIRC since 2005 this has been going on? I know I could not let that go and sleep at night.

For Bill Simpson to roll the dice and risk his name and business and quite possibly racers lives by doing something like this is just to me! Especially after the Dale Sr. incident.

What else can SFI find or might they already have

When was IMPACT founded?

I have a few bucks in gear from impact and it seems more of a money issue from SFI than the the equipment is going to fail.

Needless to say " SS Motorsports " will never see another dime of my $$$$$$

I agree. It doesn;t say anything about the equipment being substandard, just that the labels are from a company other than SFi. My question is, if the order for LABELS was placed with SFi, would SFi have provided them to Impact? If so, then what's the difference from a safety perspective? The helmet is still the same helmet.

I do disagee with having another company essentially forge an SFi tag - but that seems to be a different issue than the equipment is unsafe.
