Mike makes an excellent point.  At DE, a cotton shirt is considered sufficient.  Hardly fireproof! 

And also not taken into consideration in this exchange is the fact that the new student will most likely be driving in the Green group.  At this point, a newbie is just learning the track, the flags, and basic track etiquette, as opposed to barreling along at ten tenths.  So I would hazard a guess that flame retardency is not going to be an issue at this juncture.

And as an unnamed friend and I were discussing the other night.....If I were to be trapped in a burning car, the last thing on my mind would be the flame retardency of my chinstrap.Big Grin

Now in regards to helmet weight and HANS devices.  After talking to an MD in our group, I am convinced that it is money well spent.  He told me that bad things happen when your head is snapped forward.  And unfortunately, death would be the better outcome.  Scary stuff and an excellent endorsement for helmet restraints.
