dodge demon blows trans during burnout at dragstrip fire and attitudes get in the way

The fact of the matter is those track workers are there for safety. Doesn't matter what the driver said or did, his job is the safety of the people on and around the track, period. His jackhole attitude of "let it burn" could have gottin really ugly. If someone would have been injured or killed then he and the track owners would be looking at lawsuits and he could be looking at criminal negligence charges.
One hell of a lot of stupid going on there.

The moment he picked up the extinguishers and walked them back to the line was the end of any road for the track in defense of his actions. That is straight up negligent.

Any commentary on his part to "let it burn" only puts more nails in the coffin. The rest of the keystone fire department standing around fpllpwing his lead, shameful!

The owner of the car should know what to do if the vehicle requires a complete shutdown. Many issues arise in these computer controlled cars that older cars don't have. Someone mentioned that the button needs to be depressed for 5 seconds to shut it down. Would that occur if the computers thought the car was still in gear? Who knows...
