Default What do you wear?

I remember a post on here a while back, someones car went up in flames?

Got me thinking about an extinguisher etc. Which I will get when there is fuel in my car again as I am running an open carbs

Also got me thinking about fireproof overalls/glove/boots/pants when doing trackdays, I was just wondering if anyone wears them, or any extra safety gear, over and above the compulsory??

I wear racing boots and gloves, but purely for the feel, rather than the safety aspect......

Is that serious? if it is!

I've never done a trackday but if im out for a drive i'll wear really soft skate shoes as it's easier to do a bit of toe and heel.
