Ouch.

Nice cameraman, too. . .

I didn't know there was any such thing as a RWD ricer. . .

It was a Nissan 240SX, they were RWD....

Fire Squad?

Nice response by the fire team. What's up with them?.............free beer in the pits?

There were some still photos in this thread. The cooked engine compartment was especially horrible.

I hadn't seen the video though. I didn't get a very good impression of the people taking the video, laughing at the guy's misfortune :eyerole

Well, that's one way to beat a Z06...
Bet that made for an expensive day at the track for the Z owner...bummer...
Does insurance cover that kinda thing? Being 'racing' and all...I wonder.

I don't understand how it's "awesome" that the guy could've been killed or seriously hurt and his car being wrecked.

If I was the owner of that car, I would've had some words with those camera boys.

It's very unlikely for any newer production car to blow up in a big ball of flame. There's likely very little chance of that. Typically, when the car senses a "major malfunction", it shuts down the gas delivery. (even with most NO2 setups)

As for the camera guys, we all have our ways of expressing things when we first see 'em. Technically speaking, 'awesome' is a neutral word. Around here it seems (and I'm not saying this is bad), even we tend to look at the car first, then we think about the driver. The car is just the first thing you notice and that's what you react to. (Not defending them, just givin my usual unbiased opinion.)

Anyways, I believe they were associates of the other car staged against the Z.
