Track lets Demon burn
- Thread starter GLADIATOR
- Start date
Happened to one other guy I know. It is the trans, but I'm surprised it let go that easily. He was on the limiter a bit, but it must of been the right circumstances. It is very rare. You can hold down the ignition switch to kill the car, but if that doesn't work you either pull the ignition fuse from the trunk or one of the fuel pump fuses. Most of these guys probably have no idea about that though. At minimal I carry a 5lb strapped into the babyseat when I race if I need to buy some time.
Looks like the car has a Livernois pulley on it.

i keep one of these in both my cars, but whatever. people overlook safety all the time. I want to say at least i gave it a shot putting out the fire rather than i just watched it burn and did nothing.

qft. It wasn't like there weren't a half dozen extinguishers there to work with. The whole drama with him didn't seem like it was worth it for the proportion of what he was doing. Them hosing the engine down probably did more damage than him just leaning under the car afterwards and spraying it down in the middle where the trans area was. The engine didn't seem to see much of any of it.
Deserved to have it burn down for leaving that yellow shit on the front bumper.
Gotta say that seat mount is pretty cool. Am I wrong in that it seems like the owner doesn't start flipping until someone points out his car isn't insured if it's on the track?
Also, update from annoying guy.

Betting I could get that thing running with a gear box and a decent amount of plastic shit provided the engine didn't get a bunch of water in it from the fire hose. She's not that cooked.
If the car was bone stock, its possible Dodge might cover it under warranty based on the cause of the fire. After all, they did certify its a 9 second car.
Though with the video and how slowly he reacted with the "let it burn" comment, they might just give him a giant middle finger as with swifter action there might have been way less damage.
But insurance is going to say FU, not covered.

i don't understand why is isn't pleading with the main guy or the other dudes or grabbing an extinguisher frantically around himself, i also don't understand why the other guys aren't simply expressing a lot more interest in what is going on and more interested in shutting it down either. the whole thing is odd all around
The driver looked like your typical broke dick tough guy with more money than brains. Who picks a fight when their car is burning.
The track guy was a dick head that things lining cars up at the track makes him important.
The guy taking the video wants to be youtube famous.
Pretty much all true stereotypes. Left the fucker burn.

i do think this is the case but im REALLLLLY curious how it'd go down... i mean any broke dick (non-tcg member of course) is going to have a loan on that car... mandatory insurance on said car because of loan shit...
so say you owe 70k on 85k car.... (not upside down) and go haha it's totalled not my problem anymore... what's loan people do?
that's some litigation/law/bullshit/insurance stuff i dont want to think about
the bank coming after you?

shooot. dont do that
The owner was a short Napeleon complex type personality. The safety workers are there to make sure you are safe so listen to them. They aren't going to risk their lives if you are acting like a douche. Good luck getting anything out of the track or insurance.
Lastly, no one commented on the guys camo'd Mustang? What an ugly car!
