When you have to go get your new seat belts, helmet and all of the other safety equipment you might think about this.

A fellow Mopar racer was at Motor Mile Dragway and his car caught fire at the end of the track. (See video on MOPARTS) In the video the people at the starting line have let the next pair of cars do a burn out while the spectators are yelling to the starting line crew about the smoke at the top end. The video shows the car burning and a "fire truck" sitting at the return road. First there was no firefighters with the truck. The truck would not crank and the track personnel tells him there is no water in it. The man's car burns completely up because the track personnel tell him they do not have money to pay for safety equipment and personnel.

We pay all of the fees and throw away brand new equipment because the date has run out. Considering who owns this track this is a shame.
