Fire jacket at the drags...

Total surprise to me, but the tech guy at Infineon informed me that they require NHRA sfi 3.2A/1 spec jacket if you're running 11's or faster. A quick glance around the web reveals some god-awful looking gear.

Anyone got a link to a protective jacket that looks cool at modest cost? Mopar, Dodge, Viper logos a huge plus.

Thanks in advance for any info,


Rich

look at it this way, at least they changed the rule for roll bars to 11.49 instead of the 11.99 it used to be.

I have a black RCI brand jacket I purchased from Jegs a year ago. It has only been worn 4 or 5 times. It looks and smells like new. I paid $75 for it and would sell it for $50 plus shipping. It is rated SFI3.2A/1.

I puchased an SFI3.2A/5 full driving suit and no longer need just the jacket.

Here is the current Jeg's catalog link, my jacket is all black with white piping, it does NOT have the big white stripe across the front.
