To the fire truck pump operator- Pull your fricking pants up, and start with the AFFF foam already.
To the rest of those guys- where is your bunker gear?
To the owner- were you trying to burnout this long?

Hate to see a C3 burn like that.

Looks like great training (retraining?) opportunities for the players involved.

Fire plan not too effective at that event.

What the hell does a burn out contest prove? Stupidity? Cars with out much
power can still do a burn out, might need a little help getting started but must will still do it. I can see
the need to get the tires hot, but that a little ridiculous.
Hole shots are pretty cool but to melt the tires until they blow? Stupid!
Maybe next time he'll install a fuel pump cut off switch.
