  What SFI rating suit will I need for G/BGT or G/BMS?

It's in the SCTA rule book, SFI 3.2A/20.

YOU might be a 150 mph car but you need to run safety equipment to the record in the class, that's 211 mph in G/BGT.

Are you racing at the salt or somewhere else?

Force runs between two guard rails a little over a half mile and has a VERY competent SAFTY crew that's, like a field dog, ALWAYS poised to react.

The Salt, Elmo and the distances from safety people at other events to a possible mishap warrant the extra time protection of the 20 suit, plus the fairly heavy fire bottle requirements.
