Shortly after assembling and running our first funny car we all had the tell-tale "inside the leg 4 inches above the ankle" header burns from working in closed quarters.

I've got a nice one just above my right ankle from my old motorcycle. I ran a streetbike with no bar so I used to use my legs and feet as sort of wheeliebar. Somehow my boot toe kinda dug into the pavement more than normal and pulled it in towards the header. At the same time my leathers pulled up a little and I got a nice burn right between my boot and leather. I had my best 60ft of the day on that pass though.

Thats alright Doc I got thick skin. LOL
Which is a good thing as I too have been burned several times in misadventures.
My grown up burns saw me running around hollering for anything to relieve the pain.
Worse I guess was dumping a Triumph on the beach at Port Aransas.
Was tempted to go into the water but remembered salt water is really nasty so hauled arse to a restaurant and got some margarine and meat tenderizer.
That's the clue , John knew help would come shortly but I knew I had to seek my own relief !
Necessity is the mother of invention.
