Thanks!
It says they don't know what caused the fire but while reading it and what
happened I think I know and can easily see what he did wrong.
I'll bet there was a fuel leak which started the smoke and then the fire
fire. He put the fire out but kept driving. The initial fire had melted
fuel line and with the motor still running it now was not a fuel leak but a
fuel gusher. As he says in the article the second fire came with a BOOM.
If in a fire kill the fire AND the motor. Don't try to continue driving to
the next corner station like he did.

For any of you who have not seen the article about the guy in the Miata and
the fire escape he made at the 25 hours race at Thunderhill -- you owe it to
yourself to follow the link below and read the article and then prepare
yourself -- I sure got a good lesson
