Hi Guys, I've seen a few worrying videos online recently of kit cars on fire and was planning on getting an electric plumbed system fitted in my westfield but after our annual hillclimb/sprint awards lunch today people I was discussing it with fellow competitors who felt it was unnecessary. some opinions were that hillclimbs and sprints are such short runs that you'd be highly unlikely to have a fire and that the extra weight would be another 2 or 3kg which could affect times. I was adamant about getting one but now I'm in two minds. The thing is I will also be using the car on the road and on track days. Probably looking at around £600 for a fitted system which is peanuts if it's saves the car or your life. As I don't have insurance on hillclimb/sprints any loss caused by fire would be at my expense. Interested on opinions and those who have some form of extinguisher. Also if those competing with extinguisher systems think the slight increase in additional weight makes much difference and if the benefit out weights the slight difference in times? Thanks Mitch
