damn, that car just melted

Holy Cow!

There is not one "funny" thing about that! Why would anyone find that amusing?

anyone else notice that the driver is so "badazz" he even wears his racing pants halfway down his ass??? thats h4rdc0r3 y0. Anyway, if I was the owner of the car I would be looking for some sort of compensation if the track took so long to put the fire out because they didn't have the equipment or weren't prepared, especially since the idiots at the track charged him a $900 clean up fee.

welll... his girlfriend got a pretty decent ass.

They didn't charge him a $900 clean up fee...yet. They used up 15 fire extinguishers on this fire, then called the fire department. They have had fires before, and the fire extinguishers have always been able to handle it. About the only other thing the track can do to prepare for fires is spend 100g on a fire truck and have trained personel there to run it....and that's all very costly. The track handled it right, they did too much IMO. The guys running the track put their own lives in danger to try and save this guy's car. I say give the track personel a pat on the back and tell the driver to get a fire suppressent system if he's gonna be running nitrous. It was a nitrous backfire btw that melted the plastic fuel cell, igniting the fuel. Nitrous is just an accelerant, nothing more.

From what I read the driver was going to sue the owner of the track for damages...he says they didn't do enough!


Quote: the driver made a response to the fire on our local forum. this is what is said. Quote: Originally Posted by Brad thanks for the concern guys.

After getting the car back and going over eveything the cause of the fire is the aeromotive fuel rail. It has three brackets that bolt to the fuel rail and then the otherside of the bracket bolts to the head. The bolts that bolt to the fuel railed came out and let the fuel rail move enough to unseat the injectors and spray fuel into the engine back. Per the video the second bang is a back fire which ignited the fuel and started the fire. We talked to Aeromotive today and they said the bolts are supposed to have loctite from the factory. The reason i took so long to slow the car and get out is i didn't realize it was on fire until flames kissed me feet. PLus the engine had already stalled and with no power brakes it is kinda hard to stop. I didn't smell anything burning and thought the white smoke i saw was oil smoke so i steered for the side of the track to get out of the groove. There were no frantic adjustments made before this pass. John Shepherd was helping us out to adjust the shift linkage on the car because it was all out of whack and would not let me shift into 3rd or 4th very easily. The car was run down the track with no nitrous to make sure the alignment was on. The next run it went 11.0 @ 108 missing third and coasting after third because i had no 4th. I can tell you right now this car was way faster than last years car. I was only runnign 32 psi and a 100 shot versus 36 psi and 150shot from last year when i went 10.1 @ 141. and in response to buscher's comment Quote: Originally Posted by Brad smart ass, why would you even think about posting this? Buschur had no idea what happened and had never even seen the car. We had a nitous back fire which blew the fuel rail off, then another which ignited the fuel as you can clearly hear and see in the video. I can show you pics of the fuel rail if you want all ** ed and the injectors unseated. Do some research this happens quite a bit on fuel injected cars running nitrous. Ryan woon ( fastest six speed supra in the world) had this happen to him late last year which started a fire, but was put out by the track crew. Any other questions? Have a nice day Brad ok whats wrong with these statements... Quote: Originally Posted by Brad After getting the car back and going over eveything the cause of the fire is the aeromotive fuel rail.

wow thats insaine..atleast everyone is alrite tho

lowflyn · 04-21-2005, 12:11 PM

Eh...dude needs to learn there's risks involved with running nitrous and over 30 freaking pounds of boost and shuthellup and move on.

that sucks.... and as far as the fire the track is in the wrong, @ IRP here in Indy we dont have a FD just for the track, but for the city its in, so when they have a event the FD sends one truck (engine or grass rig) to do EMS and Fire.

lowflyn · 04-21-2005, 12:32 PM

Hm...all the tracks around here just have extinguishers. I wouldn't mind sitting on a truck at drag events....might have to talk to the local track here and see what they say.

Tbird232ci · 04-21-2005, 12:36 PM

nitrous and boost is actually an awesome combination, i saw a GST running 29psi use a 75 shot, and picked up ~120hp at the wheels

it just sounds like they didnt go over everything twice, or 3 times, a street legal car that is that fast, you gotta double check everything, theres more risk involved

i chalk one up for the "crew" not double checking

lowflyn · 04-21-2005, 12:37 PM

The thing is though, we can point fingers to whomever, but we weren't there. But the track is sorta responsible, they didn't call the fire dept until they realized they didn't have it under control. By that time, the car is a loss. Cars are like older mobile homes, after 5 minutes, they're pretty much a total loss.

WhiteStang99 · 04-21-2005, 12:58 PM

that definitely sucks. I feel bad for the guy and the owner of the car.
