Not good

[Treeshaker]

Jim,

Lets start off with one of the officials riding a motorbike up the lane of a fuel car coming into stage (this was the car Mark was to pair with before his incident) the starter left the start line leaving Lamattina waiting. The fire crew had to come up from the top end of the race track to help with Marks fire, so when Lamattina got to the other end of the track on fire there were no fire crews there right away to put out his fire. To me that is not good enough. You be the judge. The national body obviously thought it was not good enough, hence a meeting about it on Tuesday.

Regards,

Mike.

All good points that I, and probably a lot of others that were not there, overlooked as the other car didn't seem to be in any of the videos shown.

Just for thought, upon seeing the top end fire crew coming down track and the starter leaving the line, wouldn't the prudent thing for Lamattina and his crew would be to shut his car off and come back for a run later?

don't those aussies know anything? The should watch alan johnson. Wrap a rag around the leak-and when the starter tells you to shut off, signal ok + stage anyways.

gold!!

It was a severe case of a lack of communication that thankfully ended well. While the fire crew on the startline did a great job putting the fire out promptly it was otherwise handled pretty bad on all other fronts.
