Man...

If you get a chance to check the magnitude of this explosion out, do so.

My Dad was a nitro racer while I was growing up, but I've never seen anything like that. Rear tires 3' - 4' above the track?

Glad he is ok. The interview afterward was pretty impressive as well.

Oh, and the four wide thing? Remember seeing it when I was young a few times, getting the door slammers sped up to save some day light for the fuel cars. But it is impressive.

Not quite a dramatic but I bet it hurt his wallet (relatively) more!
