if this suit is for anything other than show, then be a little careful:

1 piece is far, far, far better than 2 piece (2 piece suits are still legal
for most sanctioning bodies, i have no idea why)

if it's being used in an actual track event, then wear nomex or other
proper underwear underneath it.

and don't forget the socks. i run sock checks on one race group or another
at pretty much every scca race i run tech at. i _always_ catch some driver
who won't wear his nomex socks. it's been a while since i heard any new
excuses, though.
