I think the jacket is required for any FI car. Pants/jacket after 9.99 or 139 MPH.

I have last year's rule book somewhere.
I'm pretty sure the jacket and 5 pt aren't new. I can't remember about the pants but I don't think it is either.

I don't seem to recall anyone mentioning you need pants and harnesses though.

I found on several sources the requirement for the harness at 11.49 from as far back as 2009, which goes along with what I thought.
Still trying to find pants info, but it looks like it may be new. I also texted Melissa.

You need pants, not fire pants. If you have a stock seat, you should be fine running your stock belt.

11.49 1/4-mile (7.35 1/8-mile) or quicker:
-A 5-point minimum roll bar on a fixed roof car (t-tops okay as well if in place while racing) from 11.49 to 11.00 (7.00 1/8-mile). If the hardtop / t-top car has un-altered floors, firewall and frame rails (wheel tubs are okay), then the 5-point roll bar is good til 10.00 1/4 mile (6.40 1/8-mile). Convertibles require the 5-point bar from 13.49 (8.25 1/8-mile to 11.00 (7.00 1/8-mile).
The rollbar must be constructed of a minimum o.d. mild steel or chrome moly tubing (moly can be a smaller o.d and is lighter but more expensive), see diagram below for specs.
The roll bar can be bolted or welded to the floor, see diagram below for specs.
Roll bar must be padded anywhere the driver's helmet may contact it while in the driving position, see diagram below for specs.
The 5-points are:
Main hoop; 2 "down bars" (bars that go from the main hoop rearward to the trunk floor/hatch area. These can be straight or bent like a "package tray" style, search for photos); Welded crossbar for belts (can't be removable), see rulebook for exact location. Driver side door bar (can be a swing-out. Many put a passenger's side bar in as well (6-point) because it strengthens the car on both sides, but if you have subframe connectors the difference may be minimal).
-Protective Clothing (SFI jacket with a 3.2A/1 rating, no expiration date)
-5 point harness (up to date, they must be replaced or re-certified every 2 years; You can re-cert by shipping the belts to the manufacturer, or buy new ones. I usually buy new ones and sell the old ones on EBay (street racers and dune buggies buy 'em).
-SFI-approved flywheel and/or clutch (no expiration date)
-Screw-in valve stems
-No tint allowed on window except factory

That would make sense. The jacket requirement was right, and you just need jeans or something like in every other car....but as FFB said you need firepants with the turbos.

Confirmed with Melissa. Rules are not new, she estimates 5 years old. Pants comment was to pants in general (jeans, etc).
