The team was fast to douse water everywhere as well.
Better to soak a teammate than to allow them to be burnt alive. |

Water spraying appears to be all the rage

Is it me, or is he not using the outside 1/4 of his right front tire?

IIRC, the first two pics are from one of Sam Hornish Jr.'s pit stops. He saw the fuel man pulling back from the car, assumed the hose would go with him, and took off. Unfortunately that was not the case. The buckets are full of water and were used to douse the fuel man in case of fire, which is appropriate because (as mentioned already) Indy cars use a methanol/ethanol mix and water would be totally appropriate for extinguishing such a flame.
As it turns out, Hornish won the race. |
