Aerohead- I've been reading up on the USFRA 130mph challenge and I don't see a fire suit requirement. You are thinking of the World of Speed weekend on Sep 8-11 2012, yes? I haven't looked at the 150mph requirements as I won't be hitting that speed. Honestly, I'll be happy with anything over 100mph with the impending diesel swap. Looks like a Snell 2005 helmet( or newer, metal valve stems and caps, 130mph + rated tires, long sleeves and pants, closed shoes(no sandals), valid reg. and insurance, 5 lb. fire extinguisher( secured), three point seat belts( no lap belt grand-father clause), and pass the safety check. They also require "secured" wheel covers, so I think I need to modify mine a bit.

I did start another thread to keep track of progress here .
