I was just pointing out that the folks that certify your drivers suit note the risk associated with soaking that suit before heading on track in the event of fire. They have done the testing and detail what happens with fire turning a wet suit into steam next to your skin. We all sweat during a race, sometimes it rains, this cannot be helped. On a very hot and dry day you have to weigh and assume the risk of soaking yourself no matter the cooling provided. I used to pour a bottle of water down the front of my suit on the grid, I no longer do that. I am not interested in becoming a test Lobster no matter how small the chance of that happening. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>Good racing to you, Ken <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'> <a href="mailto:tr4racing@googlemail.com">tr4racing@googlemail.com</a> [<a href="mailto:tr4racing@googlemail.com">mailto:tr4racing@googlemail.com</a>] <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, July 03, 2018 6:49 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Kenneth Knight'; fot@autox. team. net<br><b>Subject:</b> AW: [Fot] Weather at PVGP/Kastner Cup<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This means, no racing in rain with open top cars?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Cheers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Chris<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b>Von:</b> Kenneth Knight <<a href="mailto:kknight@klaenv.com">kknight@klaenv.com</a>> <br><b>Gesendet:</b> Dienstag, 3.

Not a bad thought to get you nice and cool but there are other considerations. While doing some research for our Master Instructor program with VARA I came across information from the safety certification process that pointed out a wet drivers suit in a fire situation will quickly produce steam and par-boil person inside. The ability to protect you in a fire event for enough time to be put out or exit is seriously compromised. The danger of burn injury goes way up in this event. Likelihood of this happening, very low, probability that it could happen however is not zero. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>Buddy of mine, racing a car with a top, installed a cool box and puts on a cool suit.
