1973, Dallas International Motor Speedway.  I was driving an A/FD when one 
of the injector lines popped off (45 minutes to swap motors, somebody 
didn't get it tight enough).  I got dumped with 2 gallons of nitro going 
through the lights at 185 MPH (7.18, 184.8 according to the ticket).  I 
pulled the mag, cut the fuel (wrong order), yanked the chute (almost a 
disaster) and hit the fire bottle.  I was wearing a Simpson firesuit, belts 
and chute.

Yeah, Bill's my hero, and don't ask me what I think of the France clan.
