I don't think SFI 38.1 Certified means the same thing as SFI 38.1 Pending.  At least for my money.

Who's product is SFI pending?  On http://djsasfety.com   go farther down the page and look for the defender. The is a flash video embedded. That is the unit I was referring to....    also look at http://djsafety.com/sfi_381.html

And Lee Kennedy told us the new unit will be accepted by the SCTA.  I think he understands the issues that some of the laydown cars face with the devices designed for sit up position.  We spent a bit of time with him at speedweek looking at our issues and the DJ device.  Corey is working with DJ on the device to possibly redesign the helmet  front attaching loop that is at the seating angle.

From the SCTA/BNI Board and Rep's Meeting Minutes March 4, 2011

o Head restraints - Mandatory this year – from Jan 2011. FYI – DJ Safety’s head/neck restraint was reported to have
gotten approval.

I will be visiting you to look at it then this year. That unit makes sense on many different levels.  :cheers:

I believe though, that the January approval was for the "defender"......

And I would like to see Lee's words in writing on the SCTA-BNI site and/or in the newsletter.... or something.

We know what the SCTA would like but sometimes folks read more into the rules than are really there.......

New Bemis lid. This one features a damper in the hinge so it closes really slow without slamming. I highly recommend it.

(Oh, and new oil cooler as well).

The damper keeps your head from going forward too fast!
