Maybe he'd thought he should have returned his insurance renewal BEFORE the race?

Ouch, third year of it blowing up mid way through a season! No wonder he's p****d!

Heres a big block going.. I'd be jumping around if this was mine....

Looks like the blower went up then settled back down on the engine.

With Nitro fuel a leaky intake valve will cause a backfire with flashy results.

Blowers are strapped to the engine to prevent them from being thrown into the crowd.

I love the way that when he gets out he looks pissed off! Most people would be thanking their stars that they were alive!
