"For those of you who don't know what happened I thought I would set the record straight, since I have read a lot of speculations and bs about what people think happened. As you all know we were at the track on Saturday and as I began to accelerate from the starting line I heard a loud POP! Then I saw my hood open and the motor on fire! I jumped out of the car and got away. The track employees then put the fire out with extinguishers. Yes, I was running a TNT Wet Nitrous kit and my insurance company knows this. I have read some speculation that this was because the window switch was bypassed and all sorts of other BS, but the fact is that it was running properly through the window switch and that I had taken every safety precaution possible when selecting my system and having it installed. I have since reported this incident to my insurance company the exact way it happened. Many people scare you about telling the truth to your insurance company when it involves the track, but I couldn't live with myself concocting some BS story. I thought to myself if I can't count on State Farm to back me when I need them most, who can I count on. If I was drunk and crashed into 4 cars and injured or killed people they would have to back me, so why shouldn't they back me when I am doing something completely legal that keeps the racing off the streets? I am now just playing the waiting game to find out what State Farm is going to do from here and I will keep you all posted. I wanted to thank all of you who helped me out with this incident, it is times like this when you start to realize who your friends are, and that there are a lot of haters out there. Thanks to everyone including the guys at GLD for their help."

"Greg, yeah I have wanted to thank you for your help that day and all over the internet. I know that there has been a lot of BS about how you guys didn't put it out fast enough but trust me I have no hard feelings. I also am still disgusted about the video those kids posted, thanks for pulling it off your site. I still love GLD. Insurance has decided to total it out and I am currently waiting to get a check from my insurance. I told them the truth about what happened and they never questioned me once about being at the track or having nitrous. Thanks for checking in with me. Hopefully I will have a new car soon so I can get back to the track!"

"Those cars have plastic fuel lines and the fire was being fed by the nitrous. James, the owner of the car, left the key on when he ran for his life (quite litterally) so we had fuel spewing everywhere plus a live bottle of nitrous oxide. There was extreme danger present. Since the owner was free and clear of that danger, that's what counts. We don't need to risk the track crew's safety over a burning car. As for who sprayed whom, I do not appear in that video until the very end, because I am back out of the picture. I went over to James and made sure he was ok.
Perhaps it's lost on some of you that there was a strong, gusty wind blowing?"

 

thats what scares me about spraying into an composite intake

 

Old video, still hurts to see that

 

Ive seen it before but didnt read his story behind it. I wonder if the insurance picked up the tab. Last I heard, in the small print of your insurance policy... there is no drag racing or any other type of competative racing allowed in a personally insured vehicle. Hope it all worked out for him in the end.

 

Glad to see you got out safely. Cars can be replaced.
