he probably had that thing just about full of gas too for rear grip. i guess you just can't always prevent stuff like this.

They do have a saftey feature called a check vaulve that stops the fuel from spilling out when the car is upside down, however John's car broke a fuel line on the cell itself letting the fuel poor out.

the safety crew looks about normal for a dirt track, but how come he didn't have anything in the fuel cell to stop the fuel spilling, like a rollover valve.

I thought that name sounded familiar... I've been to Fonda a few times. Notice at 1:07 a guy with a camera is one of the first people on the scene.

If Fonda wasn't so damn cheap, maybe they would have some proper fire suppression equipment! Especially when u have numerous hazards, duh its a racetrack.

I feel for the fire Saftey personel also. He is only one man and apparently the track promoter Ric Lucia & his wife Laura don't want to pay anone else to help him.If i'm not mistaken this poor guy only gets like $40 bucks and they take taxes out of it to risk his life, so the least they could do is give him some help. And to top it all off, they pinned the entire thing on this one fire person. Sad display of pass the buck by the track, sad.

There is a great article about this incident in "Speedway Illustrated" this month. It is painfully apparent the track safety crew was ill prepared to handle such a catastrophe. One quote said - "They certainly need more than what Fonda had that night - a flatbed pickup truck with a 100 gallon water tank and a Briggs & Stratton pump."
