"The use of racing fire protection gear, neck restraint system and fire retardant shoes/gloves is highly recommended for all run groups and mandatory for Run Group A"
In the Road Course, Section 5, "Run Group C, Novice" it says:
"Safety Equipment required for Run Group C
○ Helmet – SA2005 or better
○ Neck restraint – Hans style, or SFI certified neck collar
○ Minimum - factory or better 3 point safety belts
○ Cotton or fire retardant long sleeves
○ Cotton or fire retardant long pants
○ Fire retardant gloves
○ Fire retardant shoes"
I'm good on the helmet, harness, and I even bought a HANS, but I don't have fire retardant gloves or shoes.
Hoping you could clarify the rules for us.
Thank you,

Hi Aaron,
Yup it's Jimi. Just as the others posted, the gloves and shoes are a relatively small expense compared to the HANS. But, leather shoes and gloves qualify as "fire retardant". I'm looking forward to seeing you at an event.
