Re: And you though putting a turbo back on was easy peezy

I had a mate in a buggy that had a dash fire. Not too serious as its an aluminium dash - he had 100m to go to the end of the race so he ignored it and kept going. the engine shut down about 50m before the flag... and the car rolled to about 10m before the line.
Solution: put it in second gear and hit the starter! It got over the line just as the little oddesey battery gave up! He did a quick rewire between races (it was a carbied car) ignored all the existing wiring and ran a line straight from the battery to the coil and wired the alternator back to the battery and light. He just clutch started the car for the rest of the day! ha ha!
I had a fire in a demo derby at parramatta speedway a couple of years back. It was just an oil fire - not a big deal so I kept circulating. It went out eventually and I finished in the top 10 - only to find out that I got disqualified earlier as the fire marshals were evidently chasing me around to try and get me to stop!
How was I supposed to know! I couldnt see anything but oil smoke!
