Kinda glad we didn't go this year with that happening.

There are some real idiots that show up to that event. Years ago I went there and a guy was warming his bottle with a propane radiant heater.

Like this with a single burner

Bottle just standing there on the ground next to it. Luckily it had a relief disk in it. So that popped and it beat the crap out of a couple cars around it.

people that try and be CHEAP and avoid buying bottle warmers and use torches and other stupid methods should be hung by their Balls!!

Ditto, but IMO tracks should have strict rules about what methods are illegal. And enforce the rules. You get caught, you're immediately shown the exit and banned from the track for life. This fool is definitely very fortunate that someone wasn't seriously injured or killed. I hope his insurance doesn't cover the damage done to his trailer. That would be very fitting. :nonono:
