fire jackets for 2007
 
fire jackets are need for all turbo'd, supercharged, and nitrous vehicles as of jan. 2007?

Also snell 95 helmets are no good either. 2000 and up.

Stock/Super Stock Protective Clothing

Beginning in 2007 for all competitors in Stock classes A/S through M/S, A/SA through M/SA, and in any vehicle running 11.49 or quicker, a jacket meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/1 is mandatory. In Super Stock, the SFI Spec 3.2A/1 jacket is mandatory in SS/J through SS/P, SS/JA through SS/PA, and in any vehicle through Super Stock running 10.00 to 11.49 seconds. A jacket meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/5 is mandatory in Super Stock classes SS/A through SS/I, SS/AH through SS/IA, and in any vehicle running 9.99 or quicker throughout Super Stock.
95% of turbo guys wont have to worry about it...

Oh, I was under the impression all forced induction vehicles needed one ???

If not, I'll be saving 70 bucks on a jacket.

haha, I remember in my old crx it was helmet for 13.99 or quicker and I wore it for my first couple runs of 14.1. The socal mexis were giving me ----, until I beat all of them except murdoc in his stock V12 convertable. :'(

I believe its only nhra tracks requiring the fire jacket thang for cars that are turbo that didnt come stock with them


LACR requires 2 lug nuts, a tall can for a fuel tank and to smoke tumbleweed

You're right. I was a little concerned about this last year, but my track is an IHRA. It's only for NHRA and at that I'm not sure if (like stated above) is for only <12second turbo cars, but I thought it were all. :-\

Ha, yea. I didn't bring a helmet and the tech didn't say anything then the older guy came over and asked where my helmet was. "I don't need one, it's not that fast." He was telling the kid not to underestimate a turbo Honda. ::) I told him I doubt I'd get into 13s that night and he said it was fine unless I started putting passes in the 13.4 area consistently. I didn't hit 13s, haha.

Re: fire jackets for 2007
