HowdieCostco has some pretty darned nice rainsuits for $30.  Black pants with dark gray or dary blue jackets.  Dark enough they will not cause driver issues on station.  

They are not GoreTex or anything like that, but I wouldn't waste the money on something like that for racing anyway.  However, they are a nice fabric type material and not a vinyl/rubber.  Marked as 'Wind resistant' and 'Wateproof'.  

Jacket - Vented back panel.  Zip pocket on each side as well as in breast.  Velcro flap over the (main) zip.  Layered/extended collar to keep out rain/wind.  Hood has it's own pocket in the collar, as well as a draw string.  Velcro adjustable cuffs.  Reflective piping.  

Pants are snap & zipper waist.  12" zippered & velcro'd split along leg to fit over  shoes/boots.  Zippered pockets on the front as well as a deep, zippered pocket on the rear.  Mesh 'key' pocket inside  the waistband.  Mesh lining runs from waist to the knees.  

Unfortunately they are made in China...... nothing like helping the Communist Party buy more war planes...  

If you have a membership, you might want to check them out.  If you don't have a membership, bug someone who does- including me.  EASILY worth the $30.
