Driving suit needed....

Postby Autobahn on Wed Nov 10, 2010 10:20 am

We are running a BMW in the 24hrs of Lemons in Dec. I picked up a nice driving suit from my buddy that races on the east coast. It's has a 1986 Standard 04.106.97 on it but Lemons will not let us use it. NASA and SCCA etc will???? John is 6'4 and thin. Let me know if anybody has something (rent, borrow, sell)


Here is a copy of the rule

3.7: Fire-Retardant Clothing: Full SFI 3.2/A- or FIA 8856-2000-certified fire-retardant driving suits must be worn by all drivers at all times while inside the car. If using a single-layer SFI 3.2/A1 or 3.2/A3 suit, driver must also wear fire-retardant SFI- or FIA-certified longjohns. Multilayer suits rated SFI 3.2/A5 or higher are highly recommended and may be worn without longjohns. Fire-retardant FIA- or SFI-rated racing gloves and shoes are required. And yeah, while they may very well be superior, military-spec or firefighter suits are not FIA- or SFI-rated, so we can't accept them.

Hey Sean,
Got a Black and yellow G-Force one piece SFI 3/2A/5 Well used but good. (Medium) Fits me at 5'10" 175. Taller maybe Ok but not to big cheast or tight in armpits.
Got some new SFI 9.5 shoes and Med gloves + never used coolsuit.
Hit me on the land line if you can use any.
