This is quite true, but it seems to me that one should only a buy a
Halon system now as an absolute necessity to race, since the future
supply of Halon is very limited. When I checked on this for one of our
customers, I was told that the only authorized production is for
military use, and that the supply of reclaimed Halon is expected to last
for only 15-18 more months. Non-military production ceased some time
ago, so....
Cheers.
