[DeTomaso] It's Going to be a Silverstate Christmas

[John Bentley (jab)]

Scott,

Keep in mind that fire suits are rated for BURN TIME!  Go with a good
suit, longer is better.  I use a double-layer suit, but others use
single-layer.  Its really just preference.  The double-layer is great
for those 34-degree mornings in Ely!  I'd go with a one-piece suit too.
Its really just like the jump suit you'd wear in the garage. As far as
matching shoes goes, I'd say most people do at least have the same color
shoes!

The Silverstate is still six months away, but Christmas is a great way
to start to line up everything I'll need for my 165mph run through the
desert. So, I'm putting together a Christmas wish-list for my family and
need some advice.

The engine and ZF are almost done (more about that later) and I've
already made my reservations at the Hotel Nevada. What else do I
need....and where should I go to get it? I know I need some
won't-burn-underwear, but Summit has a wide range of fire-retardant
suits in one-piece/two-piece (sounds like women's bathing suits??)
driving suits in a variety of layers and colors and grades and with
matching shoes(do the shoes really have to match??). I plan to do this
more than once, but I never expect to become a mad-dawg-fanatic. My Bell
helmet is good for another 8 years, so that's covered.

Any recommendations on suits, shoes, skivvies, harness, Hans, ???

I got off the fashion-train a long time ago (my kids would assure you I
was never on it, and I've NEVER bought anything with matching shoes!),
but I don't want to embarrass Team Pantera and show up in tattered
threads. On the other hand, I want to save my limited $$ for things that
make a Pantera go fast rather than try to make my butt look smaller. I
would appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.
