What other racing organization requires SFI?

What is the NASA requirment in this space? IIRC, SWC allows you 14-15 seconds or you don't get your tech.

16.2.2 Emergency Exit Time
The car must be setup to allow drivers to exit the car quickly in an emergency. Drivers
should be tested from time to time to ensure that they can meet the specified time for
exiting the car in the event of an emergency. The driver must demonstrate the ability to
exit their car within ten (10) seconds by opening the door (for cars with doors) or formula
/ sports racers; and within fifteen (15) seconds by way of the window opening for
sedans. Drivers must be wearing all of their required driver’s gear and be tightly belted
into the driver’s seat when the clock starts. Anyone that fails this test may be penalized
with penalties ranging from a warning to exclusion from participation until corrections are
made. Note- passing the Emergency Exit Time test does in no way guarantee anything,
as many different situations may present themselves in a real emergency. The test is an
exercise for the driver as well as functioning to demonstrate the ability to exit the vehicle.

That should probably be something like "all driver's gear that will be used during sanctioned practice, qualifying, and/or race sessions." Much of what we hang on ourselves isn't required and may potentially serve as an impediment.

Your point about opening the drivers' eyes is an excellent one, Jim.

I agree and will suggest a change to Jerry.
