No im not being an IHRA hater, I would also love to support them someday also, but they need to train their personnel on safety before they kill someone.

Some fire extinguishing agent on the driver earlier in that deal may have been helpful in reducing his injuries. Hard to get up close with the violence of that thing exploding. Don't know if I've ever seen one that ugly.
A legit fire truck, and crew, behind the starting line, in addition to what they have at the bottom of the track, would help with response times. Seems to take the trucks on the bottom end an agonizing amount of time to get to a car that has a crash and/or fire early in the run.
Watching this guy's wife/GF over the wall watching all of this was awful.
