Wow, I was driving my mates GT40 on the track last Saturday(It's an RF with Gurney/weslake heads,zf etc)and I felt the motor misfire and took a look in the mirror and saw ffffflames.I thought (not good), no I tell a lie I thought oh Sh.......t.I managed to keep it together and shut off the ignition and freewheeled to the nearest flagpoint hoping to see fire extinguishers which were there alright.I alighted from the vehicle... no I got out in a very short time actually(read panic)and had the presence of mind to grab the extinguisher before opening the clip.one spray of foam and it was out, luckily.Turned out to be a loose fitting on the fuel rail.Guess what I'm putting in my car? Yep a large bomb style extinguisher.
