Seen way too many amateur racecars owners spend a ton of money on things they do not need for their speeds and events, but never have a Fire System
Great video.
The bottles can be recertified by any fire extinguisher company. I have mine DOT hydrostaticly pressure tested, refilled, and recertified every 5 years. My ring has a ton of recertify dates rolled on it since I've had mine since 2000.
My work's bottles get tested and filled every year, and recertified every 5. The DOT hydro test is an easy overnight service by any reputable company.
Thank you Tim for taking the time to teach people.
Although that's a good thought, my "like" was more for your handle than your actual comment.
Tim, I don't race anymore, I build cars now. I always use bicycle cable housing for hood or trunk release, etc. They have a teflon liner inside the wound housing. Very slippery and no corrosion with ss cable!
If you could post on Rumble that would be awesome. Love your videos and the way you can describe a complex topic so people can understand.
Please guys listen to Tim. Whether it’s a fire suppression system, track safety, or wearing gloves/locking your helmet lid
23👍's up Tim thanks again for taking the time for us all to be with you for the rest of the story
Hey Tim thanks for all your videos they are the best. As a former fuel funny car driver I am experienced setting off the fire bottles and fully agree with you stressing the importance of maintenance. In mounting the bottles have you considered they are usually experiencing negative g forces when activated. These negative g forces are very high if the parachutes are deployed, which I always recommend as the most important 1st step in bad situation on the track.
It really is great you take the time to make these videos. Thanks again and very informative!
excellent work, what do you press into the tube I wonder, is it just air?
Hi Tim, great video, Thank you.
Great job! Thanks Tim!
Keep up the great info Tim!!!
Good stuff man!
10:20 scratch on bottle!!! 😲 I had to look several times just couldn't believe it. Your stuff is always so meticulous just caught my attention you are normal folks after all. 😊
Thanks for the tips Tim. I'm gonna go with 20lbs, I'm not any where near a pro-mod but I'll lose a couple hundredths for the added safety. Undoing a harness and crawling out of a cage is a lot harder when you literally have a flame under your butt!
Thank you Sir..
Can you guys do a video on repairing a front half of a racecar
Thank you Tim!
I just put a fire system in are car I end up using the Fireaide system it has a 170 degree device that will set off by the driver if you get knocked out and aren’t able to set it off
Who ever clicked the dislike there Car they call fast runs 17s in the quarter
My car runs into mid sevens and I run a 10 pound haylon system it is about 20 years old. If I ever have to use it I will not be able to refill it.
Woot first comment
Those look like cheap mini bike throttle cables
Fire systems are like brakes and toilet paper. When you need them you *_really_* don't want to find that you've come up short.
