Topic: On fire at Barber?
Haven't gotten much traffic from previous posts, but will put it out there just in case.
Half-Fast Racing is based in Birmingham, so we'll bring all our stuff (or can get it pretty quickly/easily). I'm posting in advance of the race since I don't check the forums at the race. Look for the three Beetles (red, white, and bright "SWERVEPRO" green) and the turtle-painted Miata, or the tow vehicles with the Cosmo tiger signs.

We also have a nurse (RN) on the team and a decently stocked first aid kit for smashed thumbs, scraped knuckles, mild exhaust pipe burns, or other moderate injuries that don't really rate a trip to the ER but need more than "rub a little spit on it, it'll be okay". If she's out on the track, the rest of us will just laugh at you and hand you the Band-Aids and Neosporin.
Look for the bright green SWERVPRO Beetle (looks like a tree fell on it, because one did) or the Turtle themed Miata in the paddock. We should also have the Half Fast Racing banner out.
