| ....... | Already proven in military applications, the FIRE Panel technology has now been used on the racetracks of professional motorsports. Today, the Precision Preparations, Inc. Motorsports (PPIM) team is the first to use and evaluate a custom version of the FIRE Panel inside the trunk compartment of its No. 32 Pontiac, driven by Ricky Craven on the NASCAR® circuit. (full press release) Earlier versions of the FIRE Panel were road tested in competition using racing vehicles from the SCCA® Trans-Am® Series |

The FIRE
Panel's durable construction withstood the rigors of the high-speed track
racing. Plus, the lightweight characteristic of the FIRE Panel added virtually
no weight to the racing vehicles. With the FIRE Panel's channel design,
it easy to customize and fit any area including a fuel cell or a rear crush
panel. With a severe impact, the FIRE Panel will fill the trunk with its
fire suppressing dry chemical power, which will render the entire compartment
“inert”, disallowing combustion to occur.
