[Fot] Impact Racing has lost it's SFI Cert.

[Rob]

That's crazy   Didn't Simpson  just start up this company a few years 
ago.Could it spill over to the Simpson products Leopards don't change there 
spots. I was considering Impacts products last season but fortunately went 
with Alpine Stars. Guess this sport can be a little more dangerous than we 
think  Book em DANO and loose  the key.
 It will be interesting to see how many NASCAR drivers are wearing the 
product this weekend.     rob
