Race car burnt at Motor Mile Dragway

Wade, I couldn't agree with you more! I had always thought that there was a minimum requirement for Fire and EMS at facilities that were sanctioned by the NHRA or IHRA. Having the right equipment is just part of it, training these first responders is also necessary. Most tracks won't operate unless there is an ambulance with an certified EMS crew present, but usually the only fire protection is a few assorted fire extinguishers in the back of a pickup truck! I guess it depends on where you race.
