    Horrible fatal explosion at a Blue Rhino propane plant in Tavares, FL late Monday night. Seven fatalities known so far. The Alex Job Racing facility is one block away from Blue Rhino. Hope nobody was working late in the dyno room.

    It's in an industrial park, with any residential use about a 1/2 mile away. Police are evacuating people within a one-mile radius. You will see this story on the national morning news.

    Thoughts/prayers to those affected.

    As morning broke, all missing personnel were accounted for, with no fatalities as previously believed. Several people in critical condition however.

    Alex Job sent me a message this morning, that his facility was undamaged. Hard to believe considering the proximity to the blast site. I'll try to post before and after pictures of the Blue Rhino plant.

    wow, crazy. I know that propane facility...

    always amazes me that such a world class racing team is run out of that old industrial area. kinda makes one wonder why all those NASCAR teams feel compelled to spend millions on fancy shops ;)
