The organizers of these events appear to have absolutely no idea of crew safety and firefighting.. It's a miracle that nobody has been seriously burnt.
Man I don’t even like seeing the old school guys with no cages get bounced around like that!!!! Scary ride some them boys took wew!!! Talk bout big balls n cowtown 🤣🤣
Love it when the guys run up to the fire with no way to extinguish it. Just stay to one side and let the fire crew take care of it. Seen a few times where the people actually blew on it with there faces inches from the fire. 😖🚑
These events need a proper crash crew/firemen. It is a circus with people running around like headless chooks. And some decent co2 extinguishers on the sled as well. And some engineering on the vehicles as well as many are an accident waiting to happen. Broken front stub axles and mini minor wheels on something so big. DuuuUMB
From the looks of the videos these are all older. Safety regulations were way different. Now I’m pretty sure a track needs fire crew and medics on site for insurance purposes. They also want as little weight on the front of the tractor as possible so they can position the movable weight where they need it.
Pulling truck threw a rock up at the windshield. It was a 1st time pulling track and he found a rock. Sled guy actually finished the event. He borrowed a pullers helmet and continued!
7:22 If stamping on the fire dosnt put it out you could always lift up the hood and blow out the flames. Why are the fire crew at these events so crap?
In Europe when they have buckets of water all along the track next to each distance marker and what a tractor blows engine and catches fire the officials run in grab the buckets and dowse the flames
If there is anybody at any pull that knows the first thing about controlling fire or safety procedures i have not seen it. Typically, after a lot of standing around a dollar store extinguisher shows up carried by someone that does not know how to use it. Then a bunch of other yokels show up for no apparent reason and watch the incompetent one attempt to put the fire out by aiming at the flames instead of the base of the fire. This is all better entertainment than the pull itself.
Never seen so many people excited over flames. Just excess fuel pushed out the exhaust people. An yes, Front wheels snap off. That is what they are supposed to do. The is no suspenion. If they didnt the stresss would break something some where else.
