hehehe...whatever do you mean?
My office is ever so safe. Just a few things such as a diff sat between your testicles, a clutch between your feet and an engine running on 95% TNT based liquid explosive, a few feet infront of your noggin... :toung:
On a serious note, the reason front engined fuel dragster were outlawed was due to the number of deaths and injuries in the late 60's. They're essentially still a bit lethal, even with 6 layer firesuits (a friend in the US who drives a similar car, spent a month in hospital recovering from burns).
My safety kit consists of an sfi20 firesuit, carbon-x underwear, protective boots, sfi20 gloves, a nitromethane tolerant helmet and HANS device. That's £2k or so all in.
In terms of injuries, I've had a couple of burns and heat rashes from the clutch getting a bit warm, and header flames licking around my face.
It's not for everyone, I know that much. Of the dozen or so active FED's (Front Engine Dragster) in the country, only 2 of which run on nitromethane, and mine is the only one to make an on-track run since the last car did in 2004 (which I was part of the crew for).
