Hot Rods I need to borrow a fire suit

Anybody got one I can borrow for B'ville. I have an opportunity to drive on the Salt this year but need a current Fire Suit.

It needs to fit a short fat guy.

5'7" tall
201 lbs
38 " waist
44 " chest
27 " inseam (Yeah I know I'm short AND fat)

I will add it should be an SFI 15 or 20

Did you post on landracing.com Bob?

 

Mrs. Clause won't knit you one?

 

Yes but it wouldn't pass inspection.

Bob I have 2 old suits here. They are both SFI 3-2A/5 certified but they are from my skinnier days I know they would be a bit long for ya and maybe to small in the torso but if you cant come up with anything else you are welcome to try one or both of them to see if they will work Let me know.

I'll look at mine, same as required for drag racing?

 

Needs to be a 15 or preferable 20 as I stated above. Anything else is just a costume

 

Oops Gotcha, well thats that

 

Out of this years Rule book


Make sure that everything you intend to use fits the class you intend to run it.

 

Also you need to wear the spec for the RECORD in your class, even if your car runs well under those limits. Also remeber you may be 1 mile or 3 miles away from the closest safety crew. From what the vets have been telling me, and I am still learning, there is no such thing as overkill when it comes to fire protection. The general consensus if you ask is nothing less than a 20 cert. There are some good discussions over at landracing.com if someone wants to learn.

 

Don't forget you need a Hans device also

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this is one of those vets we need to listen to!

 

Just like me... Used to wear bellbottoms, now I wear belltops.
