Impact Racing's concern for safety

If you noticed last year some of the alcohol and pro teams had pilot chutes with heavier springs than normal. It seemed like a good idea to help get the chutes in the air stream. Today I tried to purchase 4 of these pilot chutes and was told by Kelly from Impact that they were not available. I asked when they would be and was told that they are only available to certain teams. Nice to know that safety is only available to certain teams. Another proud moment for IMPACT RACING.

 

Laughable. Why would you buy from them anyway?

I want to repeat the previous question- why would anybody buy anything from Impact? The one thing they have proven is their complete disregard for the racers safety. Dave Germain

 

I'll never spend another dime on their stuff!!!

How they havent responded to anything is pathetic,it makes me trust my safety equipment from the other suppliers even more.On a personal note why would you buy from people that havent any respect for you the racer.

 

Force dumped Impact..

and returned to Simpson this year. Impact was have something going on!

 

I still have a new pair of Impact's -20 fuel boots, worn twice that i stopped wearing because they were returned to them 3 times for "improvements" that i don't trust. I bought a new pair from DT that i wear instead....

What do you think has happend to Bill Simpson??? Afterall he built Simpson to the standard it is today. I dont trust Impact products as well, for all the previously stated reasons. Just curious.

 

GREED!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am a new driver for this season. I purchased a helmet from Simpson but my owner steered me over to Phoenix Apparel for my suit. I love the suit and they worked with me throughout the process. Good folks and an excellent product.

Just have to go through Dennis Taylor for Phoenix suits now. Is he still calling them Phoenix, or are the Taylor?

 

why??

Why any racer would even consider buying any Impact (un) safety equipment is way beyond me. After showing how little they care about the racers safety and how poorly they have handled the situation they don't deserve our money.

I had DT measure me for a new dash 20 suit last weekend at Pomona.

 

I think DT bought the equipment including pattern machines, embroidery equipment and intellectual property, but the name of his company isn't Phoenix. I've seen the suits and they look great.

 

Will you are safe He did not charge me an added charge, He just started out with a tent. I had a Stroud sute and now I have one from Taylor I would not give my Stroud sute to a homeless preson.

 

Easy with the Stroud remarks.

 

I have to say i was one of the ones with the 15 suit recall, and so far impact racing products has taken care of me. They have gone out of their way to satisfy me and were very nice. As of 2010 they got the new sfi rating on their lightweight suit which weighs 7.5 pounds. What happened at impact was the result of bad employees. They have corrected the problem and should be a much better company in the future. What i see in the world is alot of people at jobs that are dumb as dirt. The key is to find or remove before they do any damage. It sometimes takes a disaster to make a company stronger.

Oh yeah sure only after years of problems and now they found that one bad employee, gee I wonder if it wasn't the founder hinself

 

Hmmmm.....lets see....That one bad employee built the suits and boots that wouldn't certify? He is also the guy who decided to not let anybody know about the quality control problems until guys were coming to races with safety gear that wouldn't pass tech? He is apparently also the 'one' guy who perpetrated the entire idea of selling the racers substandard equipment and then denying it until SFI pulled their ticket? How big was this guy? I call the whole deal BS. JFR probably gets their safety gear for free and they went somewhere else? I guess quality counts to them. It certainly does to me. Dave Germain
