Damn, my seat gets hot just watching that. But can someone please explain to me why the car burst into flames like that? The best I can come up with is that the fuel lines were fastened to the frame too tightly and when the frame twisted the lines just split open. Maybe there wasn't enough slack in the soft lines and the motor shifted, pulling the lines apart? Any word on the guy in the red car... Doh, already answered.
