Cummins, + things not working right = Kaboom

Post by Old Ironsights »

Steve talks about racecars grenading.

Here's a truck grenade.

The truck...
...was likely at 3/4 of its max power, making roughly 2,000 ponies, when the failure happened just after the truck managed a 1/8 mile pull in 6.16 seconds at 120.59 mph.
Just... Wow.
The fireball was apparently bigger than the truck, with Terry saying it actually burned some ribbons on the very back of the vehicle. The explosion also ruined the hood, pushed the firewall back, cracked the windshield, wrecked the grille, apparently broke the radiator support, and sent oil all over the track.
At least the driver wasn't hurt.

I would bet that the driver had to go change his underwear.
