Who will be the first to cross drill his system to lighten it?

Back in the 70's sprints had fire supression systems and a guy from New Mexico crashed hard and the bottle exploded and blew off some of his foot.....but at least he wasn't burned

In my opinion, anyone caught compromising any required safety equipment should be suspended for a year. If you think that's harsh go visit a burn center. Or better yet, go talk to Harli White

You think maybe fire suppression systems have possibly improved in the last 50 years?

Couldn’t agree with you more. And we raced at I-44 with Harli, so we know first hand. That’s why I’m glad we now race at a track owned by firemen.

WoO and Lucas Oil Late Model Series have mandated on-board fire suppression for a while now. The really good thing is that many of the regional series have followed suit. Same with SFI tagged seats and fuel cells.

As a casual fan at best what does this do to a race team that doesn’t normally run with WoO. Like the guys that strap a wing on at haubstadt. Is this a major cost or hassle to add or not that big of a deal? * I know it’s a safety feature and some will have negative comments for me calling it a hassle so take the term lightly. I think everyone knows what I mean.

WoO and SFI are going to mandate what the systems consist of. Once the kits are standardized they should be pretty much plug and play. My take would be that if you can't afford a fire system for your 410 Sprint Car you're in the wrong class. |
