As someone who has had exactly 0 lessons or experience in using a fire extinguisher. How exactly should one put out an engine that is on fire? I'm sure it would also require some knowledge of what ki

The best way is to contact the road racing part of your region, or the region next to you, or next to that and ask when the next fire safety school is being put on. Attend that. Practice with live fi

My only vehicle related fire was with a dune buggy/sand rail (Corvair 140hp powered :-)) Rolled it once and ended up upside down. Fuel cap turned out to leak, dripping onto engine, fire resulted. Non

As far as I know, you "usually" do not want to open the hood. That would only allow more oxygen to reach the fire. Heat rises, so I've always been told to blow the extinguisher under the fender and l

This, that is precisely correct. The only time you want to open the hood is when going in through the grill or fender just doesn't work. I had a GT3 Sicrroco pull off at my station pumping flames out

Actually, this was nothing. It was all calm and controlled and the car had pulled off the track. I've had plenty more exciting things happen to me while flagging. I could talk all day about it! You s

We had a new flagger come out to Mid-America Raceway some 20+ years ago, and he was working a corner where a female student rolled an SSA Monza. She had borrowed a helmet that was a bit too large and

I can vouch that a lot goes on in those cases. Last weekend, I flagged a PCA DE in College Station, and was at a corner where a C5 grenaded a motor big time (fortunately, no fire, but the biggest pi

This is a very good question, and I think it's one that more of us should know about. Paul pretty much addressed all of the good stuff, but I thought I'd pitch in my $0.02 as well. First off, if you
