Totally agree.
As the safety has evolved so have the cars, this is nothing new, just on a bigger scale. I remember the early days of Motorvation, the burnout comp was held in a carpark, the barriers were copper log, post and rail bollards. Pieces of hot steel belt were being thrown into the crowd and Victor Bray had a tyre fire there one year.... we still kept going though.
The current fire trend is a bit of a worry, surprised we haven't seen a complete fireball yet. (says the man with a flaming car for his avatar lol)
