Some kind of overboost situation, but I'd say that it's cheap insurance from gernading a motor especially @ that end of the track. Burst pannel would probably be advisable from now on though. I guess it's possible he coulda backfired through the whole system too.
Does Moran have a URL? Last time I searched...I didn't come with anything other than articles on him. I'd like to know what happend to the quad turbo motor that everyone outlawed.

If that was the case...then the current clamps are a nice and "cheap" presure relief valve. Though I'd say he still needs a burst pannel simmilar to the floppers.
Thats intense!

When these things explode at 100PSI it sounds like a stick of dynamite went off. During testing at extreme pressure, it is madatory that ear protection is used. I will try to get a picture up here next week of what a 3.50" ID hose looks like after the failure at 100PSI. It is interesting the clamps actually held tight for that long under pressure.
