FIREBIRD SAFETY TEAM
Firebird takes a great deal of pride in striving to
have the absolute best when it comes to the safety aspect of our sport.
Significant strides have been developed over many years by the NHRA, S.F.I.
Foundation, and cooperative manufacturers to provide competitors with specs for
the latest gear to operate race cars, bikes and sleds in a safe and prudent
manner. Additionally, NHRA member tracks like Firebird Raceway in western
Equally, the raceway goes to extra lengths each season to field a highly trained
staff known as the Firebird Safety Team headed up by team coordinator Brad
Stewart. In cooperation with both the Star and Eagle Fire Departments, Firebird
is proud to utilize skilled and experienced fire/medical personnel during the
season.
Additionally, Firebird officials and staff are trained in a variety of areas of
safety from fire to extrication and all points in between. Firebird is devoted
to following the motto of the National Hot Rod Association, which dates back to
its inception in 1951—“DEDICATED TO SAFETY”.
