RCI also makes suits - I beleive they are the least expensive - and for 
the levels of flame resistance required at races like Silver State Proban 
is probably the lowest cost option - if you want more protection a Proban 
suit and Nomex underwear would work as an inexpensive over-all choice.

Melanie and I wear RCI Proban, nomex underwear/socks/hoodsocks, Simpson 
nomex shoes and gloves and Simpson SA rated helmet :-)
