As of February 1, 2006 all vehicles with an aftermarket power adder, (nitrous, turbocharger, or supercharger) running faster than 13.99 will be required to wear an SFI approved fire jacket |
No, that means if you have an aftermarket power adder on your car which runs 13.99 or faster, you have to have a fire jacket. This doesn't apply to factory turbo/supercharger etc... You don't need a fire jacket.

If you keep reading down to the motorcycle section, those guys are required to have a full-face helmet. That's not a requirement for cars. Your helmet has to have a Snell 2000 rating or above and have the label intact & legible inside the helmet. Mine says SA2000 inside. If you're autocrossing at Firebird, your helmet should be fine but make sure you have the Snell 2000 rating on the sticker.
I will be there on the 30th also, with my PROcede V2....
