Lithium battery goes up in smoke at Gainesville….

Most all batteries now days are lithium. Every phone and computer. Every cordless tool uses lithium batteries. Golf carts are now going to lithium. My hearing aids use lithium batteries. I have a lithium battery in my race car and have been using them for at least 8 years. Mine is a Go Lithium. It has been flawless. They claim they have never had a battery failure or fire with their batteries.
Anything can happen. Mike was lucky he caught it before it did any real damage. I spoke to him just after the incident in the lanes. We were running each other for class. He was his usual upbeat self. Just happy to be at the racetrack doing what he loves. Mike is a really great guy. Always has a big smile on his face. Really friendly person.
