I'd like to ask Mark Wilson (WBR) what he thought would have happened to his son in Fort Wayne if he was wearing a t-shirt instead of a fireproof racing uniform?

Nomex has been around for over 40 years. There is a reason why most places mandate its use or an equivalent.

Anything can happen no matter how prepared you are in what types of safety equipment you wear. But in this day and age when you, or other people, know better you are stupid if you don't take at least the minimum amount of safety precautions.

Sorry to get so worked up on this topic but as a little kid I used to watch Emergency (I have no idea why my parents let me) and fire scares me to death.
