Very Important Information
regarding
Window Nets
**Please
Read**
January 23, 2012
The requirement for SFI 27.1 Spec window nets has greatly
expanded for 2012. A window net meeting SFI Spec 27.1,
is mandatory in any full-bodied car when roll cage is
required. An SFI Spec 27.1 ribbon-type or mesh-type
window net expires 2-years after the manufacture date on the
SFI tag. Also if window net does not have an SFI 27.1
dated tag it needs to be replaced by April 1, 2012.
Please check your window nets and contact the Speedway
office with any questions.
