I want to make a post about this since this is a big issue that hopefully will shed light on some safety precautions moving forward. Why do we not have fire extinguishers spread out amongst the track, head of staging, tech trailer etc. we need to do better. There’s no excuses. This isn’t the first time a sled has caught fire. Every trailer is required to have a fire extinguisher per the rule book, or pay a $250 fine. What is the fine because you guys didn’t have one? Racing is a dangerous sport, s**t happens, but we should all be prepared as much as we can for a possible event like this happening. Glad that the rider is alright, and some people were able to lend a hand to get it doused out. The tech guy ran from staging, and appears (Andrew) jumped in to help out as well. Snocross flaggers/ops guys standing on the track but didn’t run to jump in for help, whether you knew or not. When the announcer is saying it’s on fire, I think the point was clear. It’s unfortunate these events happen, but this is the risk we all take out there. I expect to see some fire extinguishers at the next 2 races. Rant over…….
