Sydney Dragway race horror as fireball engulfs mechanics leaving one in a critical condition 

A violent ‘start line’ explosion at an Australian drag racing event has left a mechanic fighting for his life.

Paramedics rushed to Sydney Dragway in the city’s west on Saturday at 5.15pm after a fireball suddenly engulfed mechanics as a team prepared their car for the start of racing.

The team was preparing to compete in the Burson Auto Parts Australian Top Fuel Championship.

A statement from Sydney Dragway said a full investigation is underway into the cause of the incident.

The Australian Top Fuel Championship and the sanctioning body at Sydney Dragway, IHRA Australia, are involved.

Our thoughts are with the team members involved and hope to see them back at the racetrack soon,’ the statement said.

Several people on social media who were at the event remarked how loud the explosion was and sent their best wishes to ‘Gus and the rest of the team’.

  2. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually.
