It works though, its nice to go to the same thread, rather than make a new one evey weds and every sat.

Anyone planning on going this sat, the 26th, like the title says?

It’s not looking too good considering I need a fire jacket and they aren’t going to be in on time ☹

10.00 to 13.99 ET; all E.T. non-OEM supercharged, non-OEM turbocharged, or nitrous-equipped cars with an OEM or .024-inch steel firewall: Jacket meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/1 mandatory.

10.00 to 13.99 ET; all E.T. supercharged, turbocharged, or nitrous-equipped cars without a full OEM or .024-inch steel firewall: Jacket meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/5 and [gloves](http://shift518.com/#) meeting SFI Spec 3.3/1 mandatory.

The spec 3.2A/1 is a single layer jacket. I suspect that is what you are going to need.

Just keep in mind…the increasing last digit indicates an increase in the length of time you will be protected by your firesuit before it succumbs to the flames.

3.2A/1 gives 3 seconds until a second degree burn  
3.2A/3 gives 7 seconds  
3.2A/5 gives 10 seconds  
3.2A/10 gives 19 seconds  
3.2A/15 gives 30 seconds  
3.2A/20 gives 40 seconds

Also SFI Rating does NOT represent the number of fabric layers in the garment.

I understand the rating, just wanted to make sure the one I had picked out would be sufficient

I need an XL or so fire jacket, so I guess I’ll see if anyone local has one
