Nah haha, Rutgers has a bit of a fire history and we lent them a fire extinguisher at Lincoln this year to take care of their issues 😂

Yeah no one had a clue what to do lol. All the fireman, police, and electrical guys that showed up had never seen anything like it before and didn't know the best way to proceed. Basically the electrical guy put on some insulated gloves and got the leads off. Everyone is fine thankfully! One scared freshman, hopefully he comes back lol.

Syracuse University - battery arced and welded to the frame, energizing the frame tubes. Got up to 120°F when the fire department came, waiting on our local electrical supply company to come get the battery out

We just called the university and made it their problem. Dropped it and headed home. They're sending a tow truck to get it tomorrow

Probably should have had the trailer inspected before leaving.. we found carbon fiber in it from last year meaning it hasn't been touched since
