Unfortunately we see this happening more often than not. I think the track is negligent by placing the "fire" truck at the end of the track and leaving it unmanned and non functional. It cost valuable seconds (the driver was trying to start it) off of a workable solution for putting out the fire. I believe the negligence comes in the false security they are trying to project to the racers. What if they did the same thing with the ambulance?

I'm sure there will be a few liberals that chime in and say it's "all" on the driver/owner to protect their property. Remember that scenario only works when it's not yours though.

This is one instance (in my opinion) that the track was very irresponsible. I hate to see our racing facilities close down, but there are certain tracks that I won't go to just because of their reputation and stories like this are what build the reputation.
