For the fire test the judges yell at the driver, "GET OUT OF THE CAR! HURRY UP YOUR CAR'S ON FIRE". From that point the driver has 15 seconds to bring the car to a stop, unbuckle their 5-point harness, turn off the panels and motor, and exit the car.
In the above picture you can see the safety officer (in the vest) inserting a rubber wheel chock under the front tire during the fire test to prevent the car from rolling back while the driver gets out.
Here we help push (and pull) the Solar Knight to our garage after the braking test. We pull (and push) the car to save battery power for the race.
David takes a battery from the van to put into the SK II.
I'll have the last set of pictures for today in the next post.
