pro mod explodes into flames at santa pod main event 28/5/2011 Henri Joosten's nitrous pro-modified dragster suffered fire damage after a huge nitrous burp on launch on the Saturday of the 2011 FIA Main Event at Santa Pod
@hammerheaddriver the explosion was what is know as i "nitrous burp" or nitrous explosion, they are notoriously for how quickly the get bad. the initial explosion will have caused a leak meaning there was pretty much no way of stopping it
That was insane. Did that pro mod have a super charger on it? It kinda looked like the charger explode. But that has to suck. That race car is destroyed. I've been to a few drag races. That stuff is insane. Atleast they have safety crews that respond within a second of it happening. Great Video Man.
Nitrous fires are all but impossible to put out without massive amounts of water... Kudos to the Pod fire team!
