Guest Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm booked in the intro to sprinting course, but rather than leave it to the last minute I want to get myself kitted out, I have a 15 year old full face helmet and a pair of kart shoes (non fireproof) so I'm guessing all I need is fireproof overalls and gloves, can they be Proban or do they have to be Nomex.

Area Representative Richard Price Posted February 26, 2014 Area Representative Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi Elwood, If you're intending to compete, then you'll need gear that complies with MSA regulations. Each year the MSA (the governing body of motor sport in the UK) issues a yearbook (known as the "blue book") that contains all of the regulations for that year. The safety section of this years book (see here ) states for overalls:- 9.1.2. Special Stage Rallies, Sprints and Hill Climbs: FIA 8856-2000 FIA 1986 Standard Helmets have to comply with the following standards:- (a) INTERNATIONAL EVENTS & ALL MSA EVENTS. FIA 8860-2004. FIA 8860-2010. SNELL SA2010. SNELL SA2005. SNELL SA2000*. SNELL SA2010. SNELL SAH2010. SFI Foundation 31.1A, 31.2A. BS 6658 Type A/FR**. *May be withdrawn with effect from 01/01/15. **May be withdrawn with effect from 01/01/16. You'll also need fire retardant gloves. Boots are free, so your kart boots will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Angel Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 There will be a scruitineer at the Intro to Sprinting day who can sell anyone who needs it an MSA validation sticker for new helmets/ helmets not previously worn in competition. The cost is £2. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magister Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Elwood -what type of roll bar do you have? I have a petty strut which you can have (for a donation to NTL) if it will fit. I used it on my 1998 car (single diagonal FIA roll bar) I am helping out at the Intro to Sprinting day, so could bring it along with me.
