SAFETY APPAREL GUIDE
S
CORE International's
commitment to
safety includes
informing teams
and off-road racing
enthusiasts of
the best practices and latest
products that can improve
overall safety while traveling
to Mexico, pre-running or
during a SCORE International
race. One of the areas touched
on during the SCORE Safety
Workshop Presented by Stand
21, was on the importance
of proper safety apparel.
While all drivers, co-drivers,
and navigators are required
to wear FIA or SFI approved
racing suits, may pit-crew
and other team members
are not properly protected.
Another subject that was
addressed was the lack of
flame retardant underwear
being used by competitors.
According to safety experts,
heat plays a major factor to
the reasons why some racers
and teams will not wear flame
retardant underwear, gloves,
socks and shoes. Although it
can definitely get hot driving in
100-plus degree heat, wearing
protective clothing is a must.
In an effort to inform racers on
what's available in desert racing
apparel, for both drivers and
pit crew, we've compiled some
of the latest products from
manufacturers such as Impact
Racing, Stand 21, Simpson
Racing and Alpinestars that
offer improved protection
against fire, while maintaining
a high level of comfort. SJ
