SFI requires us to send in our products once a year for lab testing and we do regular voluntary sled testing, more than any competitor period.
Our goal is to educate everyone in racing, it is up to the consumers to make the best choice for them based on that education.
The products LSRs utilize are crash tested on a regular basis by those in the NHRA, that is just a fact of life. We are proud to say that our involvement with John Force Racing, Ford and Delphi on the Eric Medlin project has resulted in a product line that surpasses any vendors products on the market.
What we offer is a
system of products, all products are designed to work well independently however when you use, our pour in place seat, SFI 45.1 and 45.2 padding, a Safety Solutions Head and Neck device with 7 point polyester belts now you are safe. Safety does cost money but most of the money is spent in testing and certification paperwork, we certainly do not get rich keeping our heroes alive.
Every component and the placement of these components is critical to allow the best performance when loading and unloading under impact.
Aluminum - is the material of choice, it allows energy absorption with minimal rebound, we have found carbon fiber to be either to strong, to brittle or to much rebound causing secondary injury.
Foams - our foams are not temperature sensitive and have predictable rebound rates, we utilize up to four different foams in the head supports each to address a specific area and how the energy is absorbed under multiple impacts. The Seat foam is the same as one of the head foams, it is fire retardant unlike beaded seats.
Fabric - CarbonX is by far the best product on the market
Head and Neck Supports - LFT/Safety Solutions has more SFI certified devices on the market and poly belts
Customer Service - ISP you will not beat our service before and after the sale.
It is sad but the one who spends more on marketing is typically perceived as better, I would just ask them to show you footage from the last crash testing session before you decide on who you will choose to keep you alive.
Be Safe and God Bless
