Dave,
A new system is as good as a refill/weight cert. The receipt will be
accepted as good for tech.
Have you priced the cost of the new Cold Fire systems? A well known CA
vendor supplies them to NHRA and they are acceptable to SCTA/BNI/USFRA.
Don't ask me about pricing as I have not researched the system. With the
apparent election of Al Gore in the future I think the status of Halon is
very limited.
