Hustling as a feature of the help card to the Bunnings Trade Sydney SuperNight at Sydney Motorsport Park, Smith struck difficulty right off the bat in the initial practice meeting of the end of the week. 

Adjusting the last corner onto the front straight, a fireball ejected in the lodge of the vehicle, inciting Smith to clear out while the RX7 was all the while rolling.

Taking to online media, he said thanks to marshals and individual contenders for their help with what might have been a far more regrettable circumstance. 

"On the fourth lap of Practice 1 an o-ring on an injector fizzled and showered fuel all over," Smith composed. 

"A fireball ejected in the motor cove and lodge. I was out of the vehicle as quick as possible as my hands and suit were ablaze. 

"The fire bomb saved the vehicle from catching fire without a doubt." 

Individual contender Daniel Nolan halted to help, offering his own fire douser as Smith attempted to battle the blast earlier. 

Before long, two marshals went to by walking before the fire engine at last drenched the fire. 

"I can't say a large enough thank you to Daniel Nolan for pulling over and giving me his fire quencher to keep battling the flares while we sat tight for the fire team," Smith noted. 

"Likewise to the two fire marshals that ran from some place to help before the fire engine showed up, thank you for putting forth the attempt. 

"The vehicle isn't looking extraordinary with a great deal of harm all through the lodge and motor inlet. 

"I was fortunate to escape for certain consumes to my hand and face." 

Smith was taken care of at the circuit prior to being moved to Westmead Hospital for additional consideration, and credits the flame resistant apparel he was wearing, some of which was new for the occasion, for the somewhat light wounds he maintained. 

"Much obliged to you to the clinical team nearby and at Westmead Hospital," he added. 

"The flame resistant dress went about its business admirably well. I was so fortunate to have purchased the new gloves a couple of days before the occasion from Mike at Revolution Racegear. 

"Much thanks to you Shane Nichols from Motorsport Connections Australia for getting the fire bomb to me that morning. In case it wasn't in the vehicle it would have caught fire."
