What is required as far as safety requirements on driving suits for SCORE SNORE BITD etc?
I would buy a suit that you feel comfortable with while being on fire!
I would second this x's a million.
We all do stupid stuff and I am trying to stop it.....jackets over suits, non fire retardant socks....you know the drill

Cameron, I love my two layer Alpinestar Suit as well, but how can you avoid wearing a jacket over your suit when you have very wet and/or cold conditions. I would have never finished Parker this year had I not thrown my Klim Gortex jacket over my driving suit before the last lap. As it was I still couldn't stop shivering for half an hour after we finished. I've been in plenty of Baja 1000's at night where a jacket is also a must and a driving suit alone (even with nomex underware) just won't cut it.
You may want to check out UPR, they come to contingency and the have some great deals on their website. Here is a link to what they call the garage sell, some smoking deals on 2 layer suits.

thanks for the feedback guys, the reason I ask is because I am looking at the alpinestars suits and am wondering which one to get, which model do you have PAB?

The drag racing dudes wear two piece suits. Why don't you just get a jacket and wear it over your one piece jumpsuit?

I grabbed a nylon poncho and had it on before getting in for our 2nd lap at Parker this year, and thought that it wouldn't be cool if it melted on me, took it off and suffered. It sucked, but mucher safer. My suit got so wet there was noway it was going to burn.
GP2 I think......
