i know the track is now under new management, so i'm sure there will be tons of changes throughout the season there.My buddy lost his car today due to fire that the track officials "didnt notice". At Year Ones qualifying today, my buddys SS camaro ran a STRONG run, (10.6**) and at the finish had a pop sound come up from the bay. When he turned off the track, he saw smoke. Where theres smoke.....YUP. Fire. He jumped out leaving the car 50 ft off the track, where it sat and slowly burned while the safety safari did NOTHING. The small flme got bigger and bigger. Another racer finally got a cell phone, called someone at the stands, they ran and got an official, who called the tower, who then made a P.A. announcment to get the safety team down there. Once arrived, the car was completely melted to the interior. Burned through the fire wall. Dont need to say what fire does to an Aluminum motor do I?
After a man dying there last year due to thier incompitence (Running over thier own fire hose and breaking it outta the truck) and the man burning to death...what more will it take to get a GOOD crew there.
This is now dangerous beyond normal racing.
