2022 Safety Requirement - Fire System

[Storm Trooper]

I just received notice from Hank that NASA has decided to delay the Fire System requirement until the 2023 season to give them more time to finalize all the details. I'm sure we will get more specifics to answer our questions as the rule for 2023 gets 100% determined.

I already bought a system and will plan to install it and hope it is legal for 2023, haha.

Thank you for looking into this.
We appreciate y’all!

I got the Lifeline Zero 2000, 4 liter system. It was $400.

Have you installed it yet? Does it come with enough line to put the bottle just about anywhere?

I love that Competition Motorsports has "NASA LEGAL" on the listing...

This is the system I have in my car, think I bought it from Pegasus. It has 1/2 the nozzles as the other one but I question if more than 4 are really need to cover the engine and driver given the size of the bottle. Either way, this system was easy to install and had enough line for my car. I need to re-certify the bottle before MSR so I'll let everyone know how that goes. Apparently G-Speed can do it and HD Motorsports in Austin is working to get certified to do it as well.

Would also be nice to know whether SFI/FIA is REQUIRED since it doesn't say that in the CCR.

Red Shift Racing has had fire systems in all three Camaros all along. Kinda helpful since they can be placed in a better location for ballast, than the actual ballast location.

Recertified and refilled my SPA system this week. Overall an easy process but I was left annoyed. I decided to send to G- Speed because they were the closest and I like to support local. It was difficult to get clear information from them in advance because Chris has been sick for over a week, as with most people I know these days. I decided to just send it and get it done anyways, I should have asked the cost first. Nothing was wrong with my bottle, it was a simple test and refill. G-Speed charged me $240 for the service when a completely new filled bottle is only $250 and Pegasus charges $99 for the exact same services. I don't mind paying decent shop rates for work but feel I got a bit screwed with this deal... oh well... lesson learned with G-Speed. Good news is I at least have my bottle back without stressing for MSR and am good another 2 years... I just hope NASA doesn't setup rules next year that exclude the system I aleady have

Does anyone have a suggested handlheld fire bottle and mounting system?

Also what year Helmets are required this year?

Helmets need to be SA2015 or SA2020.
