Bjoern,

I'm contacting the folks at SSCC to verify your interpretation.  I don't 
believe SFI is required for the lower speed classes, but I do believe 
they adhere to some kind of expiration scheme, like perhaps three 
years.  Whether it's the expiration on the harness or something sooner I 
don't recall.  I should have a response in the next day or two.  Next to 
tires, harness/belts are the next biggest thing that keep folks from 
passing tech.  I personally want to make sure we have the right 
information for you, it's the least I can do for a TPR member at large 
overseas.  :)
