Topic: Yet another fire suit and safety gear question.
Judging by what I have seen of Lemons style so far, this may be a dumb question, but...
Lets say I had one of Bill Auberlen's old BMW PTG race suits. Its a Stand 21 multilayer in good shape, but I cant find the actual SFI rating. It has an FIA standard embroidered on the neck, but I haven't been able to decipher it. Will it pass tech for the race? Logically, I think it is a heck of allot better quality than a bottom end range 2 layer of a lesser brand. Not to mention the fact that it actually fits me comfortably.
I do have a full set of nomex underwear that is just a couple years old to team with it, so I not too worried about the level of protection. I just don't want to show up and be SOL for a suit.
I also have a single layer "crew" suit from the same PTG team era. It would be significantly cooler to wear with the long underwear, but I haven't found any rating or FIA labeling on it. It definitely has a layer of nomex on the inside.
And lastly, I don't know if our belt/seat configuration will support it yet, but does anyone use a HANS at these events rather than a simple neck roll?
Thanks in advance.
