Best in the Desert (BITD) has formalized a membership agreement with the SFI Safety Foundation for the 2016 racing season and beyond. The SFI Foundation is a non-profit organization established to issue and administer standards for the quality assurance of specialty performance and racing equipment. The SFI Safety Foundation develops and administers various standards, certifications and testing criteria for use in motorsports. SFI Specs are included as part of the rules of race sanctioning organizations. Ultimately, the consumer benefits from the SFI program because it establishes recognized levels of performance or quality for a given product which results in a safer racing environment.
SFI Specs Programs are intended to serve the following purposes:
SFI establishes uniform test procedures and minimum standards for evaluating and determining performance capabilities for products used by individuals engaged in competitive motorsports. SFI maintains quality assurance programs for a wide variety of automotive aftermarket and performance products.
SFI is responsible to monitor adherence to the Specs Program by verification of certified test reports from recognized test laboratories and performance audits where applicable as defined by the Spec procedures. Each SFI Spec will be reviewed periodically by committee members, to revise and update as required by current technology.
First race for application of the SFI Foundation is the BlueWater Casino & Resort Parker “425” presented by Impact, February 4-7, 2016. For more information, visit www.BITD.com.
