nitrous explosion

I remembered about this video after reading the post about the tragic accident. My prayers go out to them . But the driver in this video is kind of stupid. He doesn't shut the car off or try to shut the nitrous or battery off. And I hate how all the women have to scream when something goes wrong, SHUT UP!!!

Wow... nitrous feeding a fire like that is like an oxy-acetylene torch...

Must've done some serious damage to everything under the hood

We were in the pits at KilKare one nite. We heard a loud explosion in the staging lanes. Fiberglass and other debree were 100' in the air. It so happens a 90's bird w/nitrous accidently engaged nos solenoid and it peeled the intake open like a banana.dislodged the fiberglass nose from the car and parts of the hood are probably still in outerspace somewhere.Luckily no one was hurt.

Dang! What did he do, hit the nitrous button while it was idling?

Not much thinking going on in the video... The guy never turned the car off. It took a long long time for anyone to hit the switch at the back of the car to kill it, you can see when the lights go off. And whoever hit that switch didn't appear to be any of the track officials. Go figure. It was probably somebody that stayed at a Holiday Inn Express!
