From the Fairfield County Sports Car Club list. It is an interesting
response from the Snell Memorial Foundation.
Stan, The "below" in "see below" is missing from your post.
Oh! Thanks. Looks like the mailing list doesn't allow forwarding. So here
is a cut and paste. (Gramling is the guy who wrote the FIA paper mentioned
in the SCCA forums...)

Dear Mr. Marcewicz,
Thanks for your message and query. The matter is new to me. At this time,
the Foundation has taken no position. I have written to Mr. Gramling asking
for a little tutoring and, maybe, some material for the Foundation's board to
consider.
Regards
Ed Becker

Subject: SCCA Banning Full Face Helmets in Air Bag cars...
The SCCA issued an advisory about dangers related to air bags and full face
helmets. Apparently there may even be a ban.
They are basing this on a few things including a paper from the FIA about
the Formula One air bag tests in those cars.
Does the SMF have a position here?
