wonder what let go that dramtically ?

from the pile of debris on the burnout pad it looks like a diff failure but the flames and engine note say otherwise ! ... oops :D

My initial thought was that the Clutch & bits exploded.....severing fuel lines and all the rest....

It was at the Summer Nationals a few years ago - the NZ guys reckoned it was a flywheel failure that wiped out the entire engine bay...

Guys - fit ballistic blankets!

It was the flywheel.

All rotaries in NZ that see the strip must be fitted with a scatter blanket to run. The summerdrags usually see at least one rotor explode!! The crowds love to see a rotor being pushed to and beyond the limit!!!

I saw that? I thought that run (assuming its \'the\' video of Bryces car) was a 10 some thing? ALthough I believe he was/is re-engineering the car a bit so...??
