I was literally standing 15 feet from the car as this happened, and have many years of driver and crew member in my life, there was nothing that could be done without muffling the intake out. The engine broke a piston, allowing engine oil to feed backwards into the intake and with that much heat and compression, it just kept running! And anyone who says they should’ve pulled the breather off and smuffled it out, u should’ve came up and volunteered to get the jam nut off the breather with a 8000 rpm engine melting right under you….
Jay has got some gremlins in his shop this year or a batch of bad parts or something because several of his builds has blown this year.
Several of everybody’s builds have blown this year. It’s a by product of running WFO in a sealed off car that doesn’t get enough air through the radiator.
That’s true JB but D!(kens has had more bad luck this year than most. I’ve not paid much attention to the other builders just know that about Jay since he’s local and several in-state drivers has had bad luck.
