POCI Nationals & Fire Extinguishers

Post by **daytonajim** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 5:35 am

I was thinking abut the 2016 POCI Nationals in Bettendorf, IA.....................

Have you been to other events that require you have a fire extinguisher in the car?

I've been going to shows, track days, inside events & other events my entire 71 years of life & this is the only time I've heard of this.

It became a deal breaker when I took the Bobby Labonte Blackbird #38 to the 2008 POCI Nationals in Spearfish, SD. This was the worst event I ever tried to attend. No one was willing to work with me when I was late because the van blew the tranny. They were rude to the point of hassling me, very unfriendly & I've never attended another Pontiac event & I dropped my membership in the local MN Tomahawk Club because they were the sponsors. I drove my car back to Watertown SD & waited for a new tranny for the van.

Being rude is an understatement!

What you say?

Most of the shows I've attended in PA require fire extinguishers, for whatever reason.

Many shows in the Southeast 'SUGGEST" a extinguisher but not mandatory. In non-stock/modified classes it should be required in my opinion.

If you have ever witnessed a vehicle fire - It's Not A Pretty Sight! ..
