what type of fire suit do you guys use one piece or two piece and what SFI rating are they

The fire suit depends on what track you will be running.

For instance:

At Wall, NJ state law requires a minimum single layer fire suit (it can be either 1 or 2 piece for Enduros) and you are also required to wear Nomex underwear.

At Grandview we require a fire suit but there are no specs...it cannot be a fire retardant jacket and jeans that is for sure but some kind of a fire suit is required.

I am sure others will post what they have but I wanted to give you the minimum requirements for both tracks first....

Take care! :cheers:

:)I'v always used a one piece two layer suit. A step safer than required and you can't argue with that. It's still only worth a couple more seconds protection, but that could be all I need to keep my skin.:wave:

It all comes down to preference. Larry bought his 2 piece during his Demo Derby days and I bought my single layer one piece right after my first ladies race in '07 when I said to Larry "that was fun!"... and the rest is history! The nomex is coming soon so I don't have to borrow anymore... Checking around for the best prices- not too much cheaper getting wholesale either.

With a 1 piece, you can't lose the other half... AND you won't have THIS problem....
