I guess I actually need a "racing suit" then? Looks like from Cornerspeed's website, nothing less than these would do:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.newenough.com/browse/protective_apparel/leather_racing_suits">http://www.newenough.com/browse/protect ... cing_suits</a><!-- m -->
DOT approved helmet. Some of the more anal suggest a DOT approved but not SNELL approved helmet (British and European standard tested helmets are fine).
Full gauntlet gloves (leather)
Full race-type boots (leather)
1pc or 2pc (the bigger the attaching zipper, the better) suit (leather, cow or kangaroo, roo if you can afford it)
Back protector hard plastic kind, not POS honeycomb foam crap
