Our Drift Week 2020 Session Did NOT End Well...

What would be your car of choice for Drift Week 2021?

[@brettbradbrook2749]

Another 2JZ Mustang, Trevor proved that it can do everything!

[@marcmoberg]

12:52 “don’t get burned” he moves, and burning fuel immediately sprays 10+ feet directly where he was squatting.

[@TheHoonigans]

Tried putting out the fire as long as we could, and at that point is when we all planned to call it off..

[@SnifferSock]

Yeah that was a pretty freaking stupid. Good for him for trying but going face first while in a vulnerable position is NOT worth it.

[@buddylee19082]

I was just coming to comment the SAME thing! HOLY SHIT ARE THEY LUCKY!!!? Not ONE of them was wearing ANY type of fire retardant clothing or fire safety gear and yet like all 10 of them were right up on that FUEL FIRE with hand-held extinguishers!?!?!?!?! Luck doesn't even begin to describe what happens there. Had any one of them been there when that fuel sprayed out the back they may very well be DEAD right now or at the very least severely burnt from head to toe! smh... wow....

[@kaneda33]

@@TheHoonigans marc is saying that guy wouldve fucking died if he had stayed there just a few seconds longer. all extinguishers were spent, no other way to put a guy out whos doused with flaming fuel. i have no doubt he would be dead if he had not moved. i watched adams video last week and it didnt show how unsafe that was. they kept saying they almost had it out, just one more extinguisher!! bullshit... it was never even close to being out. i understand the desire to try and keep his car from burning to the ground but after the initial attempt EVERYONE should have been 100 ft away from that thing.

Kill switch and fire bottle likely could have saved it. Should be required for any vehicle with a cage

[@michael_graper]

@@Hole_Motorsports Maybe not, on another video the car was on fire a good time before it was noticed. Plus the track had little to no fire extinguishers

[@Hole_Motorsports]

Michael Graper kill switch would have stopped the fuel pump which you hear someone yelling about. Fire bottle sprays directly on the tank as well as the interior and engine bay if set up properly. You be surprised how quickly they can knock down a fire.

[@EX7RUD1CON]

sjpro1 pretty sure he was trying to reach the shutoff and he couldn’t because it was too hot

[@joec6108]

11:55 His hands were literally on fire trying to put his car out

[@daminox]

The track had no fire response team or provisions in place. The only fire safety on the entire premises was the little fire extinghisher bottles people keep under their seats. Wtf... Imagine if someone were trapped in their vehicle when it caught fire! Guaranteed death! This should be an absolute embarassment for the organizers of this motorsport event. Safety is no joke.

[@HiggyRSQ]

This is why, at our tracks there is no racing done until extinguishers and experienced people are set around the track. If you want to race it is simple, we are all volunteers, but if we aren't there you simply clog the pits. Always sad to see a race car go like that, as an experienced fire marshal I do my best to prevent it. All the best from down under, New Zealand

[@Lukefink]

rudy now has the G-banger!!!!! stoked to help amazing people who copped a shitty end of the deal!

[@NerdyMeathead]

12:52 Perfect timing . Saved his friends life

[@MomedicsChannel]

First up. This is a good reminder to wear proper PPE, all the time, always. Second, don’t try to put out a pressurized fuel fire unless you can isolate the pump. Third, your 1/2lb BC extinguishers arent going to do anything. Stop trying. Fourth, this should have ended terrible for a few people. Don’t be stupid, you aren’t going to put this out once it’s caught. Fifth, it’s not hard to have at least ONE safety truck, bad shit happens quickly, you better be prepared to deal with it. Source; 22 years of being a fireman and a paramedic with 18 of those being part of motorsports safety.

[@davidrognlie5676]

For everyone asking about a safety/fire team on site there Isn’t one, this is a old go kart track that’s become a drift track now it’s not a big funded facility. When you rent the track or host a event you are responsible for insuring the event. From what’s been said this guy was aware of a “small fuel leak” and did not take care of it prior to sending it... it’s a shame the car was a complete loss and I feel for the guy but not taking care of a fuel leak then blaming the track is just wack in my opinion. The track is now required to have 5 big fire extinguishers on site and that’s added another 500$ deposit to be able to rent the track for a day... end of the day just a shit situation all around

[@fruitydudexD]

Wait he blamed the track?

[@DominikKaskader]

Sick, dude was drifting TPI corvette. I fell bad for his loss.

[@DJ_NOOB]

When I watch the in car video I keep thinking it looks like it's sped up because there is just so much going on between the wheel movement, hand break, changing gears. It's crazy. The amount of skill it takes to manage all of that just blows me away. I think my brain would break trying to do that.

[@charlesjohnson8983]

I see alot of comments about this fire I only have one thing to say about it, thank God for all of you willing to stand there and try to save this couples hardwork, you obviously have a deep love for the sport that we should all appreciate and admire. Also amazing that people came forward and donated to help offset the great loss they suffered glad they are safe.

My favorite part about this drift week is that it brings back the old days of when you got your first car and you’d hoon it. You’d do some mods to it like a welded diff, exhaust, etc. and take it out with your friends to “Mexico.” No trailers and no bullshit. Just dudes being dudes

Sucks there car burnt down, but as they say when you play with fire and don't have the right safety equipment your just looking to get burnt. I only say this cause Ive had vehicles burn to ground cause of fuel fires so i now make sure the right measures are in place, but accident's still happen

[@BeardedWrencher]

Oh man. I feel so bad for the dude who's vette caught fire. That's so awful. I couldn't imagine having the blood, sweat and tears into a car like that. Glad everyone is OK! As hard as it is to rebuild a car, you can't rebuild one when you're 6 feet under.

Haha VHS is retro as F loved the intro.

[@RichardCranium321]

This may sound like a stupid question, but we're those the right kind of fire extinguishers? Most looked like standard Co2 & those aren't meant for oil fires- especially fuel. Used to work for county fire & safety, I don't know much, but do know that makes a difference & why we were required to have 4, one of each + backups. STAY SAFE GUYS!

[@Bryce.H604]

Well glad rudy got out and no one else got hurt. Sucks about a project burning up. Now everyone that blames the fire crew/track safety needs to rethink the situation. Crews only get involved if lives are endangered. Once fuel is engulfing the car its a bomb and the people around the car should have thought about that. Mica is lucky he didnt have anything happen to him or his car. People's safety first guys and yes bigger extinguishers but also check ur cars if ur tharshing them.

She was a '98 b5 with the 2.8 v6, Paxton e92 supercharger e85, 6 speed swap, super trick diffs, kw coilovers, it was a modest build but I fuckin loved that car so much I had it absolutely DIALED. Then, dumb ass me, racing some squid in a vette banged off limiter in 4th and the factory rod with 312k miles let go. Ya, rotating assembly had over 300k on it with weisco pistons and 2.7t heads. Car was an absolute champion I literally cried watching her burn. But now I have a '01 rs4 that's on my rotisserie getting all welded up as we speak.
