He was racing his ZR1 going well over the speed limit and was using a wet nitrous sytem. He said he saw a fireball come from under the hood and then heard a loud bang. This is what happened:

Wow! I never thought that could happen. I bet those ZR1 plenums don't come cheap either.

Thanks for posting it though.

JB Weld, LOL.

BIG ouch on the NOS sneeze, I hate it when that happens.

has anyone seen that happen on any of the TPI wet (or dry) systems? I have seen a few carbs go through some hoods, & throttle blades bent around shafts, but nothing that bad.
