Fire sucks, which is why almost every road racing series now mandates on-board fire suppression systems. We're big fans of them, too, because it just isn't realistic to think you're going to extinguish yourself as you roll to a stop with one of those chintzy handheld extinguishers sheetmetal-screwed to your car's tunnel.
We installed a SPA Technique fire system in …
Can you please give more information on the design and actual install? Some of us are not bright enough to buy a pre-engineered system.
I second this^^
Thanks to Grassroots Motorsports for mentioning us and keeping/transferring this system to a new car/project. This particular SPA fire suppression system is unique to SPA, in that it has 3 forms of activation; mechanical pull cable activation, electrical push button activation & automatic activation (thermal/heat activation in the head on the end of the cyl/bottle). This is a SFI 17.1 10lb system. We also have FIA and the new FIA 8865-2015 systems. We are always more than happy to answer any questions.
In reply to SPA_Technique:
Are these a foam system or what? How do they do with fiberglass fires?
This system/our Extreme line uses 3M™Novec™1230 which is considered a Halon replacement but works differently. It works primarily by cooling and works on a wide range of fires. We also do foam/AFFF (aqueous film forming foam) systems and that is used in our FireSense line of systems.
