Default Re: Burnout incident at Alice Springs

they run methanol and when they are on and off the throttle it pumps raw methanol out the pipes and it ignites from the steel belts or from the exhaust itself and acts like a flame thrower, some guys extend the pipes about 500mm out the back and helps stop it but its awesome to watch a car go up in flames.
not awesome when someone gets hurt but that probably could have been avoided if they set it up better
