This past weekend my dear friend Randy Walls escaped injury from this ugly fire in his car. The car got toasted and Randy has a couple of small second degree burns. You can see the slide show on www.maxchevy.com
Randy is a old time Chevy drag racer and he has helped my brother and me with our big inch Ford for years.
Damn thing is, we are one of his small sponsors. I wonder what he'll be looking for next year:mad: I think I'll ask that our stickers on his car are
fire proof next year.

Once again he is fine, thank God.

We were there and witnessed it first hand. He was in the car for quite awile while it was on fire. These races are so budget. You dont really have big money so this one is going to hurt.

Let's see if I can post another pic. It looks like you can see the fuel spraying out of the top of the blower.

I haven't talked to him yet. Just an email, tried to call his wife no answer.
But his email said he was okay. He is a tuff old bird, got bit by a rattlesnake two years ago and got 18 viles of anti venom and spent 3 weeks in the hospital (18 sounds low could have been more).
