    Impact Armor, custom made to fit YOU, not a generic sized person. Fits like a glove and WORKS. Go for the front/back combo, it's worth it. For something that is 2/3 the price of a set of tires, it sure does a lot.

    Prices? That depends, how much is your back worth?

    If anyone is on the fence on Impact Armor, come to the Cheap Bastid Racing pits and take a look at ours. We all have them and love them.

    I also have two Vanson zip-in back protectors for anyone to use while their IA's are on order. Just shoot me a PM. They are high quality stuff as all Vanson is. Free to use as long as you get your order in!

    If you tell him so, he may be able to make it happen. If not, like I said, I have two Vanson protectors ready to be zipped into your leathers.

    I bet he will make it happen. If you ask around he will even ship the finished product to the track for you... ask Jersey. Your best bet, stop posting and call him now. It wouldn't make sense to buy something less effective because of timeframes. If he can't make it for the 14th, use Clayton's but at least in the end you know you are getting a good product. Probably the biggest thing that is going to affect you right now is shipping time, but the cost of overnight service is well worth it in my opinion. He'll probably even split the cost with you. I never met the guy in my life but I spent like 40 minutes on the phone with him one day when I followed up on the fitment of my templates just BS'ing. He knows his shit and he isn't new to the roadracing world, he understands racers never have enough time.

    edit: as far as the long turn around you've heard about... i didn't have an issue.

    Maybe try emailing him and ask him to call you? He might have a combo fax/phone line and it's on FAX?

    I just got off the phone with this guy! VERY NICE!

    I just kept sending him emails telling him I want to pay him and that I would like this for my next event. He is going to send the templates out in the next day or so and send them express so that I can test fit them, then he can make the real thing.

    This guys seems genuinely concerned with rider safety, both from a gear standpoint and a track safety standpoint.

    Yep I talked with him yesterday afternoon and sent him my measurements last night. He said he will have the templates out ASAP and I will have the protectors by June 14th.

    Definitely quality guy and high quality of service so far.
