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

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.

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.

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

That's disturbing. Joe
