Sealing that firewall should be a TOP priority on the rebuild as well as checking any oil or fuel connections! It takes just a couple drops on a hot header for this to happen Luckily it was near others and you had an extinguisher and it didnt torch it fully...it sucks but youre good and it is too mostly! Rebuild and come back even better!

Positive note, COLLETTE! your driving is getting so good. Looks like a blast! I can’t wait till you’re up on a podium or tandem lines leaving some rubber on doors. Fire sucks for sure, but I think the good times outshined it. You made a good choice getting out fast and keeping safe. It’s hard to see you in danger. You handled it so well. Your so awesome!

Indeed, such a PRO-level car with micro fire extinguisher and Collete with casual clothes we have to admit that were a little bit over-optimistic. Glad she didn't suffered any injuries.

Glad you're ok, that's the most important part. Have no doubt the Vette will be back better then ever, and you'll be out there showing them boys how it's done. 🏎💨

Glad you're OK! It's a wake up call for all that fire suits are necessary, only takes a moment of panic to fail a harness and you're screwed. Those extra seconds save lives. Not only that, I fully appreciate panic overcome her but everyone, by a second fire extinguisher, learn to use it. Sometimes that damn pin just don't wanna come out

Holy crap lady I'm so glad you got out safe. Sad to see the car burn 100% but so happy you are good.

Mann that's terrible .. I can't imagine how stressful this most have been, you'll get back on track soon don't worry. We're all just glad that you're okai for real , and the fact that one of your first reflex was to go straight for the extinguisher is amazing you're brave ahaha! Reaction was on point, Keep it up Collete.

You are a fricken Badass! It was so professional how you responded to the emergency. Cool calm and collected. It was as if you trained for it and then nailed it under pressure when it mattered.

we are all so glad to see that you are okay. just got to come back stronger then ever keep your head up and you are doing so well with drifting.

Glad you're okay, that looked hella scary from the helmet cam view. Hopefully there's nothing structurally compromised and it's just cosmetic/engine gear replacements. Huge bill, but you have the resources and a great team to get this fixed. Stay strong Collete :) And yeah, always wear a fire suit. It sucked that the track/event organizers had a horrible fire response too, everyone grabbing small cans and no fire control near the area either.

Most people are traumatized when this happens once in their life. I feel so bad that this has happened to Collete twice now, and after she put so much time and passion into the Vette. But let's just remember what that Mustang turned into... Can't wait to see this phoenix reborn!

Fair play to you on how composed you were in getting yourself out. So many times people panic but you held yourself so well. I'm so sorry for your car, you can see alot of love went in to making it what it is. Good luck with the rebuild

There are these things called a fire suit that help with fires... Fire suit + suppression system + a properly sealed firewall (it shouldn't have come through the wall that fast) is needed. Glad you're ok. You need to fix your safety.

I feel bad for what happened but I'm glad that nobody got hurt. Hang in there Collete.

Glad you’re doing well! Very scary moment

So glad you're okay!! It's so heart waeming to see that so many people came to help you!! But what was really heart warming was when everyone was looking at the car to see what was the matter Adam was reassuring that it wouldn't happen agian. And absolutely loved it when you said "It is what it is," That's always something you can say to brighten the moment!! Once again so happy that you're alright!!

Glad you're ok Collete ! You'll come back stronger. surely .. don't you worry !

This was a rough one, I’ve been in the seat when this occurs and I’ll say the car rebuild was easiest part. It took 3-4 months before I was mentally ready to get back on track. Try to focus on you during this down time, shit is scary to experience. Glad you are ok, and I look forward to seeing you back out there when your ready.

Don't give up Collet! I believe in you 🤘

Glad you’re ok and the car didn’t completely burned down. Looking forward to the rebuild.

So Glad your okay , love your videos and everything your doing . Chin up , All love

This proves that the firewall and other peices is in no way been sealed up correctly, having the fire make it's way into the cabin.... defeats the whole purpose of a firewall if it just lets it through....

This was such a heartbreaking video to watch, especially for those of us who've followed the build from the beginning. Stay strong and we'll all be here for the rebuild!!

I just ran across your channel....you are amazing!!! Watching you tear down n rebuild/paint the vett, I was extremely impressed. I restored a 69 427/390 vett in the 90s. I know how difficult it is and how dedicated you have to be to see it through. Again, you're amazing!!! Keep up the great content...aloha😊

ive just seen the video and im not ashamed to say i cried! If anyone can come back from this and rebuild its you. keep your chin up.

So sad but you’ll come back stronger than before! I almost had a heart attack seeing you get out and the flames were at your legs in stretchy material clothing and sneakers… I think this highlights the importance of a fire retardant racing suit and boots. Stay safe!
