Most of the time you never even see them. Oh, you might catch a glimpse of a yellow jump suit or two standing by a shiny truck. But, when there's trouble on the track or an emergency of any kind, they seem to appear out of nowhere and are on the scene before the cars even come to a stop. That's the Fire and Rescue Team at
Irwindale Speedway and
Dragstrip. David Wong of
Speed Wong Racing decided to say thank you to those who give us a safe place to race by throwing a party for them at AREA 51. About 40 team members, wives and girlfriends showed up for a great evening of sharing experiences, great food and an awesome slide presentation put together by their leader, John
Baham, who was also the organizer of the event. The slide show had many humorous moments, but also included some incredible accidents showing the team at work. A big thank you goes out to David Wong and Speed Wong Racing for recognizing the men and women who keep us safe while we do what we love to do. What a wonderful gesture to a great group of guys. Fire and Rescue, you're the best!
Pepper's Mexican Restaurant provided an
awesome meal. Thanks Kelly!
Each team member received this engraved

Baham.

Lots of stories, lots of laughs.
John put together a 20+ minute slide show along
with some great music. Each member of the team
also got a copy of the cd. Very nice, John!
