...but if you don't put a spec on the suits what requires a suit to be fireproof? ...[/b]
We lived for DECADES with rules that described how many layers (2 or more) of what materials, before we got all SFI'd.

Define what it has to be made of.

Define a TPP standard and require the manufacturer to certify performance.

But DON'T put us in bed with just one company that limits innovation and competition, and forces us to into patronizing companies willing to put profit ahead of our safety.

And give me the right - and the responsibility - to make my own decision. Some newby might quite rightly think that SFI and SCCA would only have his safety in mind and actually BELIEVE that the minimum standard is all that's really required.
