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.

Wow.. what a whirl wind!

OK.. so the Micostock News Wire has been neglected for some time. I am quite sorry, I had a few things going on. I got rid of an "albatross" around my neck, sold my house and moved to a much better place, At work a corporate takeover has jumbled things around restricting access to blogging accounts then a computer crash. Needless to say I had a few things going on. However, life is settling down, everything is back on track and its time to start this bad boy up again.

News From Weinacker Motorsports
the 24x has been stripped down, frame sandblasted and re painted. New Body panels and the new number are in and the rebirth in to the number 42X will happen soon.



The 10 car has goten a new front bumper, axle and real king pins along with brass sleeves in the spindles.

The 94 got a full going over with new bearings, belts and a WF motor that has a working compression release.

The 12a is currently torn down to nothing and being changed in to a sidewinder.

On a side note, The MRL Rule book will be updated with this years date on the front and no other changes unless someone can provide the WKA WF stock rules.

We are planning on coming back to Wall this year and being competitive with all 4 cars. Many many issues were found, resolved, repaired, rebuilt and or replaced.

See ya at the track!
