          Motor and fuel pump were still runnin'. Took them a full minute to figure out that the battery was still on, providing a lovely compliment of fuel and ignition to that wonderful fire.

            Don't most rules require a "push-off" switch on the rear of the car to shut off the fuel and battery?
            If so, why didn't these geniuses run to the back of the car to push the switch and kill the car?

                What I was wondering....I'm so old and so far behind.....is anything under the hood still made of magnesium? It take a lot of heat to start that fire but by all accounts, you all but can't put it out. That's space shuttle solid booster fuel (magnesium oxide, at least)if you get it hot enough to light....

                Showing my ingnorance, and I'm proud of my ingnorance at least enough to show it off.

                  Peewee - the rocket fuel on the space shuttle is aluminum oxide, not magnesium.
                  They didn't want it to burn up on the pad.
                  And I doubt if there was any mag on this racer.
