I think his racing suit will need a dryclean now.

A lucky escape - another reminder that racing has dangers.

Green is a chubby bunny, isn't he?

ETA: a bit of T-cut and that'll buff out.

holy st!!!! Brake fluid is pretty flammable then?! I guess it took him so long to stop as the line was completely cut? Lucky bd!

Mmmm crispy

Incidentally the 'can I smell burning?' thought is usually enough of a cue for me to park it.

Didn't look like the extinguisher was much good, but they rarely are!

Not exactly add lightness it seems

I bet those last few seconds of balancing the risk of jumping out with the car still moving vs the car going up completely were pretty long

I can recommend the Alpinestars branded pants, they do seem to be very skid resistant. Still never hurts to have a spare pair back in the truck though

Remember kids, tighty whiteys and plain nomex long johns don't mix. Especially if you had a prudish ex-girlfriend standing behind you when you take your suit off.

Sounds like you are talking from experience ??????????????????
