With the fuel system mods I have on my car I will definitely be carrying an extinguiser inside the car. There's a company out there that makes a nice mounting bracket for the extinguisher so that it sits just in front of the passenger seat -- I can't seem to find that anymore though. Anybody have a link?

WOW, I just saw the video. What a jerk that camera guy was. Talk about glorifying in someone else's crap. What a selfish world we live in.

Anyway, not to jump on the NOS guys but that is the risk you take with NOS. I had a T/A in the 80's and heard an awfull noise one day when I hit the NOS. The car sounded like it choked to death. I was scared crapless. I damaged 2 pistons. I quiver when I think about it.

CF Member Dmnt has a nicely mounted fire extinguisher he uses for roadracing. I drove his Z06 one time and I realized that its not good for short guys like me though cuz the seat only travels so far foward but my guess if you are 5'9" or taller that particuar one wont be an issue.

Wow what a retarded pit crew. There is a guy with the fire extinguisher at 51 seconds into the video RIGHT BEHIND THE CAR and no one hits the car with one until 1:09.
