From what I'm reading a fire extinguisher wouldn't mean squat.He seems to have been trapped in the car.
That ***** hole of a track should be closed and the staff prosecuted to the full extent of the law if the emergency crew was that inept and the equipment useless.
Phil,don't you think you life is worth a lousey $150?After all a Snell/M 2000 has been in use for a long time.
I had a tech guy tell me a few years ago,when he saw my helmet was a Snell
certified helmet that he was amazed how many guys with fast cars still cheap out and use M helmets.I don't know if there's a real difference.I know you pay more for a Snell approved one.
