Camaro burst into flames at the track last night

Yep, it was me !!

This is not the kind of video I wanted to add to my channel but we show the dangerous reality of racing and show the good & the bad as well !!

Glad to hear you're okay! I can not believe you still finish the night with another race. You got to post more details about your vehicle and how you got the car ready to run again when you get the chance!

Not exactly the conflagration the title suggested but glad it was manageable.

A real bad Nitrous explosion IMO involves blowing a blower apart...LOL But I am a old Chevy guy...and seen lots of drag racing with big $$$$ I can only dream of....

https://www.dragzine.com/features/vi...us-explosions/

Your little flame out is nice to not hurt your engine too bad unlike say a blower flying through the air.....LOL But kind of nice if the bolts give way when they should and you save the engine and nothing really is hurt that bad from a Major Hiccup... and the blower is not hurt ...well that's a bonus...many good drag racing videos of worse out there, but it gets personal when it happens..as crap does..... Good your in good spirts to share , I know I do when I crap the bed so others can learn...its the way of the honorable and humble. Been there...…

But for every bad day there's a lot more good.
