They just wasn’t ready for something like this. Using bondo
to repair a race track wont work. Its brittle. Watch close someone is going to slip and bust their a$$.

They could have started a new class of vehicle competition.. no bump drafting tho.. sure make it easier to get your pull-out windshields off

Hopefully someone will get on the ball and have on hand from now on at any major race an airport type fire truck, something designed to handle jet fuel fires.

Foam might have made a bigger mess but it would have knocked the fire on its bum. I think the track is toasted, pun intended.

Re: Bondo.

They’ve done it before... only needs to hold for an hour or less. No sweat.

“IIRC, USAC regulated them out of competition......the piston powered engines couldn’t match ‘em so they had to go.”

Same with the HIMI.

Hulman wanted no part of them and his word was law on USAC.

They’re in the spin and rinse cycle.. maybe the newer surface holds up better to a fire like this.. or they were using cheap jet fuel..

Mike Helton seems to think we’ll be resuming racing soon. I’m confident.
