That said, the SFI extortion deal to buy and keep paying for a product that is no longer top of the line is rock bottom. Is it only SCCA who was sucked into that bad deal, or does this affect the other big clubs as well? If so, it is time for the clubs to turn the knife around and form an "American Motorsport Safety Assessment" council or so and make *that* the standard. You wanna tell us that product X is safe, SFI? Did you just make the manufacturer pay so they could slap your label on? How about you show us those independent lab tests that actual did SNELL-style tests before *we* approve your stuff as safe? You want to tell us that product part Y needs inspection or replacement after Z years? Fine with us, if you can provide credible data. Don't have that? Tough luck. kthxbye.
