As of 2007, drivers of all non-factory boosted cars and all cars running nitrous hoping to compete in a sanctioned class through the NHRA and IHRA must wear a fire COAT meeting SFI 3.2A/1 with pants meeting same requirement encouraged.
This rule actually came about because of 4 and 6 cylinder owners, mostly kids, who incorrectly installed nitrous kits on their cars and started causing fires at the track LOL. For the $50 it'll cost for the coat everyone should wear one. I have both the pants and coat and wear them on every run. The pants are baggy enough to slip right on over a pair of basketball shorts so you dont have to sweat your balls off all day when your not running.
I used to race cars, now I race myself.
