This happened at my home track on Saturday night.

Short story is this is a 350 Supermodified. A big block, they would run methanol, but these run on racing gas. A tire on the front of this car went down, just as he crossed the finish line in 2nd place.

It only took the track's safety team 45 seconds, from the time of impact, to extinguish it. This safety crew does an incredible job, and that's why I love my home track.

That's the driver escaping, head first. He's through the skin grafts, for 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his hands, elbows and one forearm, and they were more severe than the doctors originally thought. Otherwise, his only other injury is to his eyes, as his sight is clouded.

This photo, and lots of others, with no explanation, or reports of the driver's condition, is what I woke up to Sunday morning.

Now that he's through some procedures, and his prognosis is good, this is how good firemen can be.... https://pix.sfly.com/UYqSA9 I hope there is some way to make this image work.....
