See all this talk about ambulance at the track, some of you drivers need to look at your safety gear, fire suits that look more like coveralls, wearing a sweat soaked t-shirt will get you burned by boiling sweat, old belts. My friend Tom Davies found out last yr about old belts, God was w/ him on that ride. Remember when buying a helmet you're not buying a hat, the helmets to protect you, should fit firmly, rock it up & down, do you eyebrows move to? Next tie it in place w/ your hood on, now reach around to the back & see if you can pull it off, if you can it's too big. Gloves, their should be fire proof material behind the leather on the palm, leather will shrink in a fire. All your clothing should be fire proof don't skimp
Drivers, do you race on a 1/4 mile w/ walls or 1/2 mile w/ no walls? How long will it take the safety crew to get to me. Burns are a horrible thing to deal w/, friend of my dads got cooked 3rd degree burns on 60 - 70% of his body, I saw him.
Your family needs you
