I love techin' at stuff like OUSCI.... only because the rules are so basic... and I keep thinking... 'cause I've seen it... that having a fire extinguisher 'on board' is just so friggin useless in 9 out of 10 cases.
Nobody knows where it is - the driver can't get out - unclip it - and he's freaking out about his car on fire... It's like UGH... The friggin' thing is mounted BEHIND the drive so you can't reach in from outside the car and get it and start fighting fire with it...
Ya need this stuff when you've wrecked -- and you're "in shock" -- and all of a sudden a friggin' fire has broken out!
This is one of those "rules" that says -- it's better to have it and not need it, than it is to need it and not have it.
The track stuff Charley and I have been doing - they make us wear proper clothing... gloves... helmets... shoes...
At the speeds we're going - most of the guys have fire suits - driving shoes - fireproof gloves... real helmets etc. ROLL BARS/CAGES.... Just sayin'.
