    Default Dodge Demon Catches Fire At Milan Dragway

    Anybody see this video yet? Shocking (well, not really I guess) how unprofessionally this was handled.

    Totally unprofessional.
    None of the staff are appropriately dressed/protected to put out a fire.

    Bad look for the folks at Milan. They've had a lot of black eyes over the last few years.

    Do those cars have factory master kill switches in them? If not, They should. Did they determine what the issue was that caused the fire? A master kill would have shut the car down and assuredly helped keep damage to a minimum. The track personnel’s response was ridiculous. As a first responder, Im starting to get a love/ hate relationship with that place. Watching really fast cars run without the most basic safety equipment in place is aggravating and it’s starting to wear on my nerves. My entry fee is supposed to ensure that they will take action in the event of a mis-hap. MAJOR fail Milan Dragway. You should be ashamed of your employees behavior in this situation.

    Assholeness like that starts at the top. Not to mention that even if you don't care about the car, having a car burn to the ground on the starting line probably isn't the best thing for your track either.

    Not sure of their command structure but in my opinion the starting line official should have taken control and started instructing staff on what actions to take.

    Looks like trans fluid on the ground, first mistake was hitting it with water, second the first responders were not dressed properly, and the guy with the attitude would be minus a few teeth if that was my car. After last years incident beating that girl up they will never see my money.

    Wow. Whole lotta wrong everywhere in that video. Agree with all the above but also don't get the drivers attitude. That situation was begging for leadership and with none forthcoming, and being my car, I'm leading the charge.
