Question Extinguisher options

This feels like a moronic question, but I'll ask it anyway since it's a safety thing and I don't fuck around with safety.

Is there much value to having a small extinguisher mounted in the car for track days? Every event I attend has manned flag stations, obviously, and those guys have big extinguishers. One part of me says "they have extinguishers, just worry about getting your own ass out of the car" but the other says "what if you're not near the worker and/or it takes them 15-20 seconds to get to you".

For those with an in-car extinguisher, are you just running a simple 2.5-pound Amerex 417 ABC? Do you use the footwell mount or roll-cage mount?
