THE IMPACT PHENOM
SUIT & HELMET
■ The Phenom DS, 2-layer suit
blends European styling with
Made in the USA craftsmanship to
achieve a stylish, comfortable suit.
Hand-crafted from lightweight sa-
teen Nomex® the Phenom DS is
both FIA homologated, and certi-
fied to the SFI 3.2-A/5 specifica-
tion. This allows the suit to be used
in more series than conventional
FIA homologated, or SFI certified
only suits. The Impact Phenom DS
also features V-stitch quilting for
exceptional thermal performance;
a 180 degree belt, and inset pockets
for superior comfort!
Phenom SS Helmet
The Phenom SS helmet line is a re-
sult of over 40 years of research and
development experience, including
wind tunnel testing. The new range
was designed to meet the require-
ments of the new FIA 8859-2015
& the New Snell SA2015 ratings.
Using a proprietary Carbon-Kevlar
composition, the shells offer greater
strength at a lighter weight than
helmets manufactured from tra-
ditional fiberglass composites. The
66 | D r a g
helmets have also been wind-tun-
nel tested to maximize exterior vent
placement and flow, while reduc-
ing buffeting in open cockpit ap-
plications. Impact also introduces
a new size: Medium/Large. This
M/L size takes advantage of using
the smaller shell which is lighter
and more compact.
The Phenom SS features a car-
bon-Kevlar/fiberglass construction.
It includes a wide, peripheral eye
opening that can be used for open
wheel or closed cockpit driving.
Multiple exterior vents increase
circulation to a redesigned interior.
The interior has channels which
not only cool the driver, but has ad-
ditional channels which route air
towards the shield, which reduces
the chance of shield fogging. The
Phenom SS has removable, wash-
able padding that can be reposi-
tioned for a comfortable fit. All
interior seams have been removed
from areas where greater pressure
is exerted on the head. The Phenom
SS has been designed to accommo-
date a drink tube and an intercom
system. Available in flat black only,
sizes XS to XXL (new size M/L).
The Phenom SS has Hans clips pre-
installed, which can easily be re-
moved and replaced with the FHR
post of your choice. FIA 8859-2015
(with Hans posts installed) and
Snell SA2015 approved (regard-
less of FHR posts installed).

■ Holley is pleased to announce
the release of MSD Pro-Billet
Front Drive Distributors. Devel-
oped for both big block and small
block Chevys, they’re perfect for
race engines that need a cam-sync
signal for EFI systems but don’t
have room for a standard distribu-
tor because of inadequate firewall
clearance or bulky intake setups.
MSD Pro-Billet Front Drive Dis-
tributors feature an adjustable
Hall Effect sync pickup with a
built-in LED for easy adjustments,
an extra-wide 9mm belt driven by
a pulley on the camshaft, and a
band-clamp mount for fast, easy
rotor-phasing. They come com-
plete with a billet-aluminum
bracket and lower housing, a billet
distributor head, and a new gear
for the camshaft.
