It's obvious he never practiced getting out the car either.

That was what I thought. In a more serious fire, that extra time it took him to get out could cost him his life.

I am guessing since he was on a track no insurance to cover the damage.

Ouch!

I bet his next car will have a good fire suppression system.

From the looks of the driver, the only way he would be getting out of a car quickly was if he was stopping at a buffet...

Looks like that fire didn't do the track surface much good....

For that matter, the firefighters didn't do the car much good.

A truck load of fire extinguishers is no substitute for a fire truck! Who was in charge safety? Anybody?
