Time after time after time, I see a division in our society. I see people willing to man up and accept responsibility for the consequences of entering into a risky enterprise, and ****s who just want to lay the responsibility on others no matter what. This guy took his car to the track, which is a risky enterprise. He accepted the responsibility for the outcome when he did. Nobody but him is there to ensure his safety. His safety cannot be ensured. The safety crew is there to mitigate problems that arise. Putting the blame for this on the track and its crew is the ultimate irresponsible millennial **** mindset at work.

I’m with you 99%. The issue I have is that track safety acted extremely unprofessional and unbecoming of a safety official. When they left the scene and took the fire extinguishers with them, while saying “let that ****er burn”, they ****ed up. It then became pure negligence.

The owner of the car is a dumbass period. The track isn’t responsible for the damage. Probably shouldn’t have wrote that check for a race car from fiat. Everyone knows they don’t know what they are doing. This isn’t the first or last case of a demon catching fire. And since I’m an asshole I will say. We still haven’t seen confirmation of the legendary hero run. Go ahead and bash me if you dare. But you have zero evidence to support your argument.

That’s a pretty weak wheelie. Get some height on that, son!

And at least put a ****ing helmet on.

Gotta disagree with most people in here.

The driver was a total douche. His car is on fire and he's acting nonchalant about it. Taking off his helmet, rolling down his window and then yelling at the track workers.

He's told to turn it off and pop the hood. Yes, if it's in D, it won't shut down, but he didn't try and force it into neutral or hold the power button. Also stupid move having a modified Demon and no cut off.

Instead, he gets out tells the official to "stop being an asshole and chill the **** out".

He then gets in the guys face like he's about to punch him. Total roid rage.

As far as "lawsuit". I'm sure Kaneda's Boyfriend there will try and sue. I'm also sure he'll fail. They did try to put the fire out and he basically refused help. They did maintain safety since no one was hurt or in danger. You sign waivers to race indemnifying the track of liability for your shit breaking. His shit broke, he didn't want help. Tough Luck.


As for the fire, its been suggested its because of the torque convertor. Basically he didn't roll out of the burnout and the sudden shock likely busted something, hot fluid everywhere and it lit up.
+1 owner is a douche and an absolute moron. POP THE DAMN HOOD retard... Get off that high and mighty attitude like its the tracks responsibilty for your car burning because it is not. That owner was not a man but an entitled puss

Eh, it can easily be viewed as the track employee asked him to shut the car down and when he wouldnt it put he worker at risk. Then the hood wasnt popped so he grabbed the safety equipment and retreated to a safe distance. Hes not a trained firefighter so he was looking out for his own safety.

If someone was yelling at me to shut it down id be screaming back its not shutting off!! give me an extingushier, help me, suffocate the intake, put out the flames. This tool was texting and letting it burn hoping that the track would pay him out...

in the end though at least his splitter doesnt have curb rash.

I would have too if the driver called me an asshole. Owner could have easily just popped the hood, got out and explained that it wouldnt shut off instead of acting like macho man.
Cant blame the marshall for getting mad at it not shutting down initially, people are that stupid..

The driver is clearly a ****ing retard. Doesn't pop the hood. Doesn't know how to shut the car off. Gives the track guy shit. Walks away from his own car. Lets it burn instead of getting the extinguisher himself. Leaves the door open, window down. All around, a total dipshit. And then, in second place for stupid, is everyone here blaming the track guy for pretty much saying "ok, screw you then" to this ungrateful clown.

I find this odd.

I went years ago and in the tech this was a test.

“In drive engine running, shut it off”......

But driver is out money.

Staff kinda a bit jackassery.


Sent from my POFS iPhone in a rage cause this is the third try.
