There is A LOT missing from this story that was disclosed in another video. The fire fighters lacked the proper fire extinguishers to put out a methanol fire which is what those sprint cars run on. That is why it took FOREVER to put out the fire. In addition, the fire crews should have been wearing fire suits ( which unfortunately are NOT required by the sanctioning organization). The combination of improper extinguishers and personnel unable to get close to the burning vehicle resulted in the driver being seriously burned.
Let's not forget the track didn't have an ambulance on site and had to call 911.
@theloneracer1935 you'd be surprised how much them "ambulance" actually do at my local track the people that are inside it the paramedics said if they needed a real ambulance they'd call it.
There are so many tracks unprepared for a real disaster. If anything like this ever happened at EAMS, the driver would die.
@hjr2450 just last night a modified wreck happned where a wheel was in the cockpit of the other drivers car eeal ambulance and fire trucks were called it was all good seen a post that said if the wife let's him he'll be racing next Friday same place same car
Everyone say a prayer for her… I’m doing now.
I also
@@timadolphson6971 copy … it broke me a bit.
Yeah a prayer helps 🤡
Cod bless her for a speedy recovery 💙💙🙏🙏
@@Myamericanlife61 you just said that for the halibut
sad to hear, hope she as a fast recovery
The promotor was in damage control already. Someone is going to be writing a big check over this one. I hope all the best Angelique!
Who and why would anyone be writing a check to someone?
Nope. That’s why they make the drivers sign waivers. Drivers assume the risks.
You're right, they were totally unprepared.
There's discussion about the fuel tanks and how to improve them. This is the third bad sprint car fire in about a week.
Jim, tell the truth! Safety Crew, oh, the guys with t-shirt and jeans, one with shorts on. Shame on this " man ".
Never should have raced if not prepared for a fire. Looks bad for the sport and puts drivers in danger.
That track should be closed down if they aren't going to have an ambulance on site. They had to call 911! I've never been to a race that didn't have an ambulance and a firetruck on hand. Prayers for Angelique!
An ambulance wouldn't have improved her situation, they dont put out fires. However, a prepared fire crew would have kept her from needing an ambulance or going to the hospital.
@@evenfloseamless So true. It looked like the fire went up when they shot the extinguisher. Do you know how she's doing?
I pray , that she will be ok
Get well soon
I watched the race and the fire crew was not what it should have been. They had one little water tank to put out the fire. The whole crew also took forever to get on scene. Yes there was cars still coming to a stop but they still could have got to the car faster then what they did. The safety crew did not have the components necessary to handle a wreck. Being a sprint car racer myself had I known what the safety crew had to offer I would not have raced. This was a scary crash and I hope Angelique is ok but had they had a good safety crew thing's would not have turned out the way they did. Prayers go to the Bell family. Had we had a safety even half of what high limit or World of Outlaws has nothing like this would have happened. Wrecks like this happen all the time in Sprint car racing. Had the safety crew been good she would have escaped with some bruising and maybe minor burns. Nothing against the Narc series as it was not there safety crew. Tracks like that are not safe to race at because they have a safety crew that can't keep you safe in a wreck. Hope she's ok.
NARC series is 100% to blame. They should have made sure all the boxes were checked.
Water, a brush truck, is all that is needed for an alchohol fire. How can track owners and fire crews be so ignorant that this is not an oil fire such as diesel or gasoline.
WRONG! Water does not extinguish alcohol fires!
Water doesn't stop methanol fuel.
This is methanol fuel and water does not put out methanol fuel.
@AWAREDIAGRAM680 Yes, water can put out a methanol fire, but you should use a minimum of five parts water to one part methanol. The water's primary extinguishing mechanism is dilution, which can remove heat and make the methanol easier to extinguish. However, even mixtures of methanol and water that are more than 20% methanol can still be flammable.
@@AWAREDIAGRAM680 the solution to pollution is dilution
Leave it to Cali to not be prepared for a fire. Out of all states CALI should be ready. They can't turn two laps without crashing over there
Racing is chaotic X 10, there is no way to cover all possibilities.
There there are times when freak failures stack up, it's rarely one thing that goes wrong.......
I wish A Bell a speedy recovery.
0:30 thats placerville LOL
News outlets are lucky they even found a video of sprint cars. They have no idea what they are talking about.
"Tried launching everything at the car"
