I have a nomex suit from the days when I used to play in helicopters. They can be had pretty cheap, but the important thing is to make sure they fit fairly loose (keep the hot material away from your skin) and to wear only cotton underneath. Nylon will literally melt to your skin in the event of a fire. I have seen this video before, and I have no desire to see it again. But after your thoughts, I'm going to wear my nomex suit when I finally take my car to the track!
BTW, bad title for the thread, IMHO...
