Does anyone know the drivers names of the miata's that blew up?

I knew someone who was going there with a questionable spec miata that some people were a little worried about...

I know the driver was OK, he pulled through turn one around to the barrier and right up to the fire truck.

That was the craziest start I have ever seen.

OhhhhhBeeeee,

You guys rock. Really neat to see you guys win ITA. Congratulations to you, Russ and those hoodlums of a crew. That made me smile.

I have to admit, double yellow, black flag all, re-start, red flag, black flag all, re-start all within the first 40 min of the race was pretty nuts. Glad no one was injured.

The Driver of a 280z that caught fire had to go to the hospital for some bad burns on his face. That was the cause of the red flag.

Burns on his face? Ouch!

Was he wearing an open face helmet?

Im not sure... Looks to me like gas vapor from a full cell ignited when there was a slight arc in the brake wiring. The "fireball" then found the quickest rout to fresh air which was the drivers window, thus engulfing the driver in flames.

from what i heard from the workers, he was wearing a full face. he stopped and got out and started to take his helmet and gloves off. i was told the once white helmet was now chared black.

That incident was between 4 & 5 and it was the cause for the black flag all.

The miata that was on fire and pulled behind the wall and up to the fire truck and ambulance between turns 2 & 6 was the cause for the red flag.
