Safety is a big concern in all
types of racing, but desert racing
poses its own particular set of
safety issues. It's for this reason
that safety equipment and race
wear companies are constantly
researching new products that can provide increased protection and
reduce injuries. When it came to SCORE desert racing, Yves Morizot,
President of Stand 21 safety equipment, met with Sal Fish in 2008 and
Roger Norman in 2009. It was at that time that SCORE International was
committed to help develop and promote a higher level of driver and
personnel safety. "Mr. Morizot and Mr. Norman share the same passion
for auto racing," says Kevin McConnell, National Sales Manager for Stand
21 North America. "Stand 21 is the only major auto-racing company still
owned by its founder and now run by members of his family as one of his
sons is now Vice President, proving the dedication of Mr. Morizot and his
employees to the task at hand."
