It makes you sick to see this happen to a fellow racer, but one of the best ways to bring the realities of the dangers of racing is to see, without a doubt, just how quickly it all can go wrong. This Mustang was taking part in the fun of TX2K16 when a nitrous line burst and the whole car went up in flames in a matter of moments. Literally, moments…this was never going to be pretty but this Mustang roasted quickly. Luckily the owner was able to escape without injury. The noise sounds like the Ford is being roasted alive by a fighter jet’s afterburner.

Check your gear and make sure you have a routine for when things go south!
