In September when we raced, this Porsche went off the road and caught on fire. His navigator (daughter) walked away with minor injuries but was unable to pull her dad out. I didn't know him, but I understand he was a very good driver and had done many open road racing events prior. Accidents happen. In open road racing, you don't have run-off areas or safety barriers and safety crews are not always close by.
Not only is the fire suppression system required for the 170 MPH classes, but was something I just felt was necessary. As Justice Pete, said, "safety first".
