Here is a clip of the fire. The driver is okay with burns to his hands. This is second hand info, but we think that's all of his injures. Its a miracle he made it out.

That fire was scary to watch. I am so glad that the driver is still alive. I would say that God was watching out for him.

I hate to say this, but I would suggest IHRA invest in some safety and Fire Extinguisher classes before next race, I saw a pic in FB with 3 or 4 semi trucks that said ?safety convoy? in my opinion as a previous firefighter and a racer what I saw in that video was unacceptable to that racer. 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.

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. |

That was really bad-- I hope that he is doing well--- only comment I will make is its probably better that he was slowing or stopped when the explosion occurred as to having occurred when he was accelerating in the run--- I do not think it would have been a good outcome--PRAYERS--FED 387
