First fire.. blew-up, gas line. If someone would have shut the damn bottle off... no big deal. Burnt some part of the N20 system off, then had an oxidiser feeding the flames.. Still, if someone would have shut the bottle off, fire would have been out in 1 minute versus 5. But, outside of fire-truck foam, as long as that oxidiser was being fed into the fire, it was going to burn ANYTHING in vicinity......

Had someone simply killed the bottle... it would have been far less spectacular.

People wouldn't have waisted 5 or 6 of them 1lb extinguishers either....

The whole top half of the intake lifted. I missed the initial backfire, I was watching the car in the other lane...
