So you take your boosted Fiero to the dragstrip for a little weekend action. It’s ok, car is running good, and then BAM! You get a speeding ticket? At the dragstrip? New CarDomain member AkursedX tells the story….

“This was my very first run of the day! I was only on ~16psi and thought that it would only be a shakedown run. After my pass, I went to the booth to get my timeslip and they yelled at me for going too fast without a cage (11.49 and faster requires a rollcage). They let me off with a warning and told me I could run again, but if I ran too fast again, I would get the boot.”

First off, am I the only one that thinks the guys fighting this fire should be wearing more than shorts and t-shirts? If there’s a bottle of nitrous in a burning car, nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen, and this situation could have resulted in an explosion. Another thing? Why the hell didn’t the driver shut the motor down before he bailed? That seems like a no-brainer to me. Anyway, while there are some pretty big fireballs—at one point it gets so bright you can barely see anything in the frame—it doesn’t look like anyone got away with anything worse than some singed eyebrows.
