FIRE!
Friday, July 03, 2009
Don Eckel III's dragster literally caught fire at Atco Raceway during a divisional points event. Thanks to the quick reaction of Atco's track personnel, the fire was snuffed quickly with little visible damage to the car. At the time I took this shot, Don was clearly aware of the problem and getting out of the cockpit in a hurry.

I captured a short action sequence from start to finish that can be viewed here. Enjoy...
