Default Another race jacket question.

They sell single layer and double layer jackets. Does it matter at the track which one I have?

Nope, I spoke to someone at Englishtown and was told either will pass regulations. The single layer is a good way to save $100. I bought the dual layer before I knew both would pass tech. :D But, I'm sure I'll be glad I did come the cold weather, this jacket will definately keep you warm. :yesnod:

Single it is, thanx for the info. At least I'm in So. Calif so single layer would be better for the season.

You don't need a jacket in a convertible till 11.99 but you do need a roll bar at 13.99.
