I was just reading the NHRA rules and it states that all drivers of vehicles (reagardless of of ET) with non-oem turbochargers, superchargers, etc must wear an SFI rated racing jacket. I forget the SFI number, but I have never seen anyone in the sportsman lanes wearing those racing jackets.

 

her's the sfi code for the jscket:

Jacket required 3.2A/1

 

Nobody enforces that...

 

Why not just get a jacket?

 

always a good idea to have good safety equipment.

I just wasn't sure if tracks were really enforcing this rule. I have never seen the guys in the slow lanes wearing nomex racing jackets, and wasn't sure if it was a new rule or just a non-enforced rule.

 

I wear the Simpson 3-2AI jacket and Bradenton has become stricter about wearing them. Bought it from Jegs.com

 

I have a jacket, neck brace and SA helmet from when I had my Maxima in the low 11's. I intend to wear it all when I run the G this summer. When your rolling 100+ MPH onthe big end you cant be too safe. Wifey and kiddies are owed at leat that!

 

Yes, they are a REQUIREMENT. If tracks choose to not enforce them, that's their own deal. I bought an entire suit from Jegs. Might as well have even more safety.

 

englishtown in NJ since last yr became very strict i had to buy one at the track at markup to run

 

So they enforce that at ETown? Hey, let me know when are you going back to Etown.

 

will do im adding a few things before another trip so 2 weeks at least mainly DR's as my driving skillz suck but ill def give u a call
