Race car burnt at Motor Mile Dragway

I put a fire extinguisher in mine when IHRA started requiring them a few years ago. An NHRA tech guy told me I needed to take it out, that if I could get it out quickly it could come loose if I ever flipped the car and it would beat the crap out of me (just clothes to burn if that ever happened). So, IHRA I put it in, NHRA I put it in the trailer. What he told me makes sense, best to have permanently mounted fire bottles and plumbing. I don't.
