Re: Mother of all Backfires...
I was going to give to N20 guys a hard time, but blowers pop sometimes too.
Ask Arnie Bezwick about nitrous fires, damn near killed him a few years back.
Never under-estimate a quick car, they have a mind of there own, sometimes they bite.

If I would have been the guy leaning in the car, my head would have gone through the roof when it backfired.

I don't know man, I think I have one that beats that one.
Kenny Esner of the Texas King of the Hill (koth) class at Texas Race Way had a backfire at over a 150mph. Check out the video and the pics. This is ugly!!!!!!

Looks like that crew member in the passenger door might have gotten some pretty good burns to his arm and face.
Wow, just a reminder of how dangerous some of this stuff can be when you least expect it.

Wow, that's a BAD one. The car up against the wall where he can't get the door open is really scary.supernova wrote:I don't know man, I think I have one that beats that one.

And most of them are like vampires, once they bite they suck you dry. And not in a good way.
