good thing homedude was ok, gonna' be a long walk home for him, bummer.

 

those are some good pics

 

DAMN!!!! Toasted!!!!

 

isnt there a video of a C5 blazing up because he used spray

 

good thing no one was in that car, i cant believe the track had no resources to put that thing out, without bringing in the fire dept.

It would be interesting to know what the cause of this burn was....

 

i wanna know what that guy with the fire extinguisher was thinking!

....................'Don't worry guys i got this' ......................I've seen fireman with all their gear struggle for an hour to extinguish a car!

 

There goes a $5,000 car with $20,000 worth of mods on it. That sucks. The guy looks like he wants to cry. I think I would be too...

 

started spewing nitrous??? wtf? Nitrous isn't flamable like that...something else happened.

 

Your joking right?

 

You're right, Nitrous is not flamable. It is the extreme heat during combustion that causes the Nitrogen to separate from the Oxygen and then you have more Oxygen in the combustion chamber. It also has no smell, but there is Sulfur Dioxide added that will make you cough if it is released from the bottle in the car.

 

It looks as if he was running a fuel cel. The fire was concentrated in the rear of the car. He may have had a fuel leak. The deep orange flames look like fuel and oil.

 

That's what I tend to think...it's a fuel problem...something with a breaking line, perhaps ignited by a hot exhaust?

 

nice pics...made me want to cry for the guy. at least no one was hurt though, but damn that sucks

 

The thing that sucks is it's not his car, the girl in some of the pics is the owner. Pretty sad to see another nice DSM go bye bye

 

From the video it looks like the fire was started after a backfire, but more towards the front of the car. The Evo guys claim it was a nitrous backfire that started the fire, whatever that means... Turns out the car was some shop car which makes me feel less bad, though judging by how upset the driver and girl were it was a car they cared about quite a bit

 

The C5 was blamed on N2O backfire too - however, every backfire I've seen just sorta goes 'pop!' no messy flames. Course, if a fuel line ruptured...anything could happen.

 

The vid of the corvette...

None of these goobers at these tracks seem to have any experience with a fire they couldn't **** out. The guy with the camera at the vette fire is a douchebag.

 

Brian O'Conner would of done better :D

 

I think if i was running nitrous, i'd have some sort of full car fire suppression system installed. Not worth losing your life or car to save a few pounds.

 

My thoughts exactly.... douchebag is about the only word that guy.

 

When you're removing plastic pieces to save 10lbs to run a faster time at the strip it's silly to add weight with something like that (even if such a thing exists). No one got hurt, and they lost the car, it's a chance you take when you're trying to be fast.
