The pre-plumbed systems look cool but their purpose is to only control the fire long enough to allow the driver to get out so he can get a good view of the car burning to the ground. I would take 2 hand held extinguishers over the best pre-plumbed system on the market.

I'm curious about the statement regarding plumbed systems. While I agree a plumbed system cannot be aimed, they are used on a lot of race cars and seem to function there. And specifically on the NHRA Funny Cars with their systems.
Am I'm missing something Jim?
