I understand they are required in a race car, most of us do not race them.

Mike,

A lot can happen with these individually hand built cars that would not normally happen with a production vehicle. An old adage comes to mind for me at least: "better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it". In my case, and my additional mindset, I only have one life, I'll do my best to protect it any way I can. Having a properly set up and installed fire suppression system in my car(s) allows me enough time to stop the car and get out safely. If my liquid/foam system puts out the fire, even better, if not, at least I am not the one burning up along with the car.

Bill S.
