About 1985 or 86---At the Long Beach Gran Prix--I changed a dead spark plug on a stock block Indy car during a hot session ---dropped the plug onto the floor pan---after squeesing off the injector line with a set of visegrips to get the hole firing, I then reached down between the header tubes to get the plug( long time before the kevlar heat sleeves), now that the cylinder was firing the pipe was hot and I burned my arm severely on two sides---used aloe verie??? salve and it didn't even leave a scar.
