NHRA rule change

I was reading on another site that as of Feb. 1 NHRA will require the driver of any vehicle with a non OEM power adder to wear a protective jacket.

Section 1A, located on page 24 of the 2006 NHRA Rulebook read as follows:

"10.00 (*6.40 1/8 mile) and slower; all E.T. non-OEM supercharged, non-OEM turbocharged, or nitrous-equipped cars with an OEM or .024-inch steel firewall: Jacket meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/1 mandatory." In addition any car running over 135 mph will have additional requirements so please ask if you think you will be in that area.

My local track added a jacket requirement to my class as well, even without a power adder. (13.99-11.5 index) What good is it to have just the jacket? Actually i should stay quite before they require a whole suit.
