Crazy night at races. - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

GetErDone · 05-23-2005, 01:40 AM

Went to the local races last night to go and watch some races. There is this one car that usually goes there, it is a immaculate 1992 White GT. The specs are this, 408 Keith Craft motor, powerglide transmission, direct port NOS fogger kit, complete racing suspension and roll cage. Pretty much has it all, not to mention it is a 8-second car. After about thirty minutes of some stupid races he decides to race a new 1000RR street bike, I thought this ought to be interesting. They line up to race and the GT just spanks his ***, he almost loses control of the car the whole way down the road. Then we all see the car on fire, everybody drives down to help, but it is too late. After the car is on fire for about 5 minutes it just straight up explodes, the hatch goes up in the air about a 100 feet. Not to mention this is all happening on a city street. The fire department finally shows up but by the time they get there, nothing is left of the car. The cops then shows up and really don't say anything. I will try to post a video pretty soon, but here are some pics. Sorry there not very good but they were with my camera phone.

What blew up in the back? Looks like a bomb went off.

Could of been the 116 Octane fuel cell, or the 15pound nitrous bottle.
