Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

Since we now are required to wear the safety pants I have a dumb question. Are they designed to be worn over your jeans or cutoffs or not? I know the jackets are but don't know about the pants.

Wear them over anything you want....but nothing nylon.

Re: Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

the RJS pants have an elastic wasteband, zipper and velcro in the front. No provision for a leather belt, however.

Jeff,
I just purchased the RJS pants @ JEG'S in a "large" for Brian... they fit him fine over bermudas, and they have a "strechey" waist band w/ the velcro flap in front.

Make sure you get a bigger than normal size if you wish to wear shorts or pants under them. I believe I've seen some with zipper on the leg bottoms which would help when wearing jeans I've personally only wore shorts with mine but I can see how your pant legs could bunch up when putting on your race pants.

Yeah, I'd wear fairly snug bermuda shorts too. The RJS (and probably other brands) have elastic cuffs that would make it hard to deal with full length pants inside them.

Thanks guys for all the info. I recieved a pair from Santa that were ordered Extra large and were way too long for me (Simpson). Will send back and try again.

I think the rule book says no shorts under the fire pants.

Re: Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

I really doubt you can`t were shorts under them. If that`s the case,why allow underwear? Make all the racers go comando under their fire pants. And while you`re at it,shaving would be mandated as well,hair is flamable too! I always wore shorts under mine when I ran S/C.

Get your razor ready......Check the 2009 rulebook under STOCK and SUPER STOCK protective clothing. Full length pants...no shorts. Also synthetic clothing not recommended.....you can wear synthetic clothing if you would like it melted to your freshly shaved legs in the event you catch on fire.

Re: Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

I`m pretty sure what they`re meaning is not allowing the use of shorts only,and the nylon type "sweat pants" were disallowed a couple of years ago to go over your shorts. Reguar cotton sweats,jeans or pajamas are ok with the lower classed cars,and I`d bet you can have a pair of shorts on under the fire pants.

The real downside to this ruling is "Homer" Gil Cardy Jr. will have to wear something other than his Golf sweat pants (18 holes) during competition. This may be a benefit to others by changing his luck.

Re: Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

I could be wrong but I don't think the "full lenght pants" in the rule book refers to what you wear under your racing pants. I've always worn shorts under mine, put the racing pants on in staging lanes while talking to some officials I think they would have said something if that was not allowed. Myself I'd call your Div. office to get a clarification. Joe P.S. hello Mr. Fain Hope you're doing well!

Thanks Joe for the well wishes...same for you too, and your crewchief. Keep that lettle Ford buzzin' and jack up the pressure in those injector squirters.

Re: Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

Try a Fawnskin thong with, or without fringes, they're both just as comfortable.

Re: Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

That's disturbing. Joe

Re: Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

Does anybody have any recommendations as to the most "comfortable" brand?
I got an XL RCI for Christmas.Just tried them on now.EXTREMELY uncomfortable over blue jeans.Very tight in the thigh area.Also,are you allowed to hem the legs if they are too long,or does that "disqualify" them as being safe?The legs are about 6-8 inches too long,and I think I need a bigger size.I don't think I can drive very well with these,and I couldn't drive very well last year without them.

Re: Question about 3.2A/1 pants
 

My RJS fit well and have enough room. I washed them 2x in Woolite and that made them somewhat softer, more pliable. The legs have elastic cuffs so if long, you could let them be baggy with the cuffs at your ankles. You can find the size chart here:
