Default High fire danger

I know this probably should go without saying. Please be extremely cautious where you park or pull off the road with your S2000. The catalytic converter is extremely hot and will easily ignite any grass or brush beneath your vehicle. I've been standing beneath helicopters making water drops this weekend and watching a blaze close to my home. Fortunately the wildfire was fanned away from my residence while others were not as fortunate. If you live in an area at risk, have a plan and be ready to evacuate. Normally I'd be happy to see a big bank of clouds outside my window but in this case the clouds are smoke, high in the sky and they stretch east and south to the horizon.

It's insanely easy to set grass fires out here in Texas when pulling your car off the road. I went off track at Harris Hill Road a month or so ago in my S2000 and even though I got back on track immediate the grass on fire within a minute on my cooldown lap into the pits. I'm even at stock ride height with the stock catalytic converter. Just be mindful out there!
