Wow....
Looks like the clutch/flywheel let go? The tires weren't moving when it popped....
Well, the crowd enjoyed it.
Wow, what a boatload of stupid. I guess I just don't understand those.
I'll second clutch/flywheel explosion.
Just end to a moronic pastime.
worst fire fighters ever.
Waste of a V8 AND a Miata.
Did find the first guy with the expired fire bottle somewhat amusing. Spult, spult, awe berk it.
I never understand how metal and glass burns so ferociously, while I can barely start a fire with dry wood in my backyard.
What the hell kept burning in the MC area?
And yeah...the first responded was pretty funny; shot his wad 30 feet from the hot-spot and just shrugs his shoulders.
In reply to c0rbin9:
If you used as much oil and gas as they did, I think you would find that your fires light just as instantly.
I bet he won.
Yeah, welcome to hyperfest! I was there up on the hill, there's another shot that shows just how far it lobbed some part of it.
found it, driver also runs back to grab his beer, he's luckly it didn't mess up his legs as it launched some parts right out the windshield. https://www.youtube.com/embed/G3yplgwC-lU
You can see that he's doing a "clutch burnout" just before it blows up...the rear wheels aren't moving and there's smoke coming from under the middle of the car.
Idiot. That thing was in major distress before it tried to cut his legs off.
There was a burnout contest at Carlisle this year. Lucky us, we were right next to it. Only a handful of cars registered and one owner with a track-prepped M3 backed out after watching the destruction required to be competitive.
That is a lot of stupidity all in one place right there.
Burnout contests are one of my favorite things about car shows. id have entered!
How do people doing this sort of thing not know how to do a burnout? Skinny pedal down, then clutch pedal UP, if the tires don't start screaming immediately you dun goofed and now need a clutch, maybe more if you keep going as shown. I could teach a child old enough to hold the clutch down how to do it without breaking things.
One of the articles had it right:
"high-energy, low-thought atmosphere"
I was just glad he and everyone else was alright. That's a silly reason to lose a foot/leg.
I thought the beginning of the video was showing the "after" shot of the destroyed car.
Wtf, why on earth would you need to nose the thing up against a wall to do burnouts, so weak.... berkeleying amateurs dude.
Yup.........gotta love the announcer when the car is burning. "Hey make some noise"! And as previously mentioned, not the best fire control. Complete stupidity.
I don't understand burnouts and I really don't understand a burnout contest.

Did you watch the video or no?
He was trying to keep the burn out going shifting to higher gears and it didn't work out once he hit 4th.
But yes, idiot.
The concrete barrier should be lined with fire extinguishers. What kind of idiots are running this?
