If you can't get/wear/afford a track suit. Wear natural fiber clothes. Cotton or wool. Do not wear synthetics like polyester or the other stuff. If you are wearing a poly clothing in a fire. You will be shrink wrapped in it. In the ER, they will have to peel the clothing and your skin off together. :eek:

Heck if you can't afford a fire suit you're probably not doing many DEs. My custom suit was under $600. That's less than two DE weekends usually.

At work. We have to wear natural fiber clothing. Some have to wear FR clothing.

True, but many people especially beginner HPDE with a mostly stock, newer, and lower power car really have a very low risk of fire injuries with simple every day cotton clothing. The HPDE I go to require long sleeve cotton shirt, socks, and denim or cotton pants. I do think an extinguisher would be beneficial in reducing damage to the car. 25 dollars can do a lot to prevent a total loss of a car.
