Barbecue Ignites Blaze At Chargers Game POSTED: 11:17 pm EDT August 22, 2005 UPDATED: 11:17 pm EDT August 22, 2005 SAN DIEGO -- The smoldering coals of a tailgate barbecue ignited a fire that destroyed six vehicles in the parking lot at Qualcomm Stadium during a Chargers exhibition game, authorities said. The blaze also damaged four other nearby vehicles. Shortly after kickoff of the exhibition game Sunday between the Chargers and the St. Louis Rams, the hot coals of a barbecue left in front of a Ford Mustang ignited cars that had been parked together. A column of black smoke rose into the air, and the smell of burning tires wafted over the grandstands. Some cars were left sitting on their rims. Shattered glass lined rows between the burned vehicles. Fenders were melted away. Police Sgt. Ray Mattuck said there was no doubt the fire had been started by a barbecue. By halftime, arson investigators were searching through the ashes. The investigators were expected to determine if charges would be filed, firefighters said.

You mean you want them to tee-tee on the cars? Only if they are wearing the appropriate fireman hats

The result will be to ban tailgate parties. Too true. As usual, it takes just one complete idiot to spoil things for the rest of us.

Yur just trying to start a fight ain't ya?
I'm a West Texan currently exiled through marriage to NE Muddysippi. I own over 135 sq feet of BBQ space in 4 grills/smokers on 3 different trailers. It's just a hobby but I really kinda like mine. Learned the art from a 3 time Memphis in May champion.
But my opinion might be a little skewed.

One thing is sure; it wasn't an ex-Cheesehead that did this. Properly disposing of the Kingsford is stressed on the first tailgate.

This happened at a Nascar Race a couple of months ago. Anyone got a link? I don't remember what race it was. The firefighter in the red shirt is putting out the motorhome following the eruption.
I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it.
You can't prove anything.
