SFI de-certification of Impact products

From what I am reading it appears that the SFI foundation has posted a “Cease and Desist” letter against Impact Racing. SFI is demanding that Impact recall and refund all customers who have the products affected by the claim. On further reading SFI claims this is in line with maintaining safety and the intent of the SFI Foundation. However, In My Opinion, this is about money. On the other hand, if Impact has gone and outsourced the SFI tags as claimed by SFI them selves. Although its capitalism at its best, it could be a poor business practice by Impact if they installed counterfeit tags as claimed by SFI and then did not pay for the licensing for such tags. No matter what the outcome, the end result will be hardships on the racers and racing community caused by either deceptive business practices on the part of Impact or of suspicions on the part of SFI.

Shame on Impact if SFI’s claims are true.
Or
Shame in SFI if this proves to be malicious.

March 30th Update

Impact racing has a new post regarding the issue, Their lawyers have filed an appeal and there is a hearing in court on April 1st. They have made no claims to the maker of the tags but claim that they have full certification.

Lets all hope this gets resolved quickly.
