Paul Major's Fire,.....

Complete Days Coverage from the LSX Shootout
http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/l....html#post3183

One could argue this either way. Paul Major was racing Steve Turley. Steve was not even in the first beam yet when Paul had the first beam tripped and was on the brake. Steve did take a long time to stage after Paul got on the brake. Paul then double bulbed and Steve followed shortly after. By 1/8th mile Paul's car was smoking badly. By the time he got to the stripe the car was on fire. Probably from being on the brake for so long, made for a spew-age of transmission fluid which caught on fire. The track crew did manage to get it out quick. Paul says he will be in Orlando.

Video will follow in Sunday's Highlights.

Yes glad nobody got hurt. Just curious what kind of rear fascia is on that car??? I think it's the best one that I have seen that includes a rear spoiler as well.

Damn that sucks, first the turbo issue, then the 2nd turbo goes, now this.

It is amazing that his crew and Precision had him still racing up until this point though.

Paul had one hell of a bad weekend at the LSX Shootout at Memphis Motorsports Park. But it will not keep him down. That's racing.

Good luck in Orlando Paul.
