At least he can salvage one of those rims

Man, I hope that car was at least paid for... I'd hate to be paying for that for the next 4 or 5 years..

seen it before, usually happens when spraying at too low an rpm. The fuel and the nitrous get ignited by a hot valve or a backfire.

Nitrous oxide is nonflammable... Only the fuel is getting ignited.

Good thing it was an NX kit cause NOS would've exploded like the car in The Fast and The Furious.

in any oxygen rich environment fires are more violent. Anyone remember that space shuttle fire in the 60's. The cabin was pressurised with oxygen. A spark set the whole cabin ablaze in seconds. I get sparks all the time when I'm working on cars but they don't burn up because of the lack of oxygen.

BTW-Nitrous starts releasing oxygen at around 575*F and IS flammable above 1202*F. Just FYI.
