Mind you they used a fair few fire extingiushers to put it out, had to get some more brought in.

BBJ - great captures
It can be a expensive and dangerous sport for this very reason.

Jeepers!!
I've never seen anything like that since Yanagawa's get off in the Supers! They certainly made sure they did a good job. Nice capture John! Glad the riders weren't too banged up, but can't say much for their bikes. Were there any TV camera's around BB or was it just a local race meet?

Great capture John,
Sad to see, feel sorry for the riders / owners, a very expensive Bar-B-Q

Thanks all for the coments, well one of the riders that was pulled from under his bike was back into it again today on another bike. His other bike is cactus but Jase i do believe someone got the incident on vid cam and no tv as this is a Victorian club hires our track for the weekend.
There was another startline crash today but not as firery as this one.
