Drivers suit

Do driver suits (one piece, or pants and jacket) need to be re inspected periodically or SFI certified after a certain time?

Current Rule Book, page 26, Sections 3.A and 3.A.1.

(Don't read more into it than is there.)

I bought a used one and had it recertified by the manufacturer - As far as SCTA-BNI is concerned, I understand it just needs to be in good shape.

I want to say it was $75.00 for the recert.

They patched up one of the cuffs that was pulling out at no extra charge.

That was nice of them.

I just bought a used SFI/20 for $750.  Thankfully ONLY NHRA requires re-certification.  I'd hate to have to quit racing because of profiteering (the way that I quit racing NHRA).

NHRA requires recertification every 2 years.  SFI is becoming a huge money grab.  Recertify you scattershield every 2 years???  You racing suit etc?  I think my cost of shipping for scattershield was about $90.  I don't see how they could justify $250+ every 2 years for something that should last about 500 years.
