what?? how does driver school prevent fa fire from happening...might be because i have never gone to one that i dont understand...but i think that is by far the stupidest fucking thing ive ever heard. i know no drivers school can prevent electrical fires, so theres one possibility. or if he money shifted and pop over rev....boom

What he needed was some race-ready A-pillar-mounted fire extinguishers and external kill switches.

This is exactly the reason why you young kids need to go to the track. The street is no place for you fast and furious life style.

Come on man. These types of posts were excusable a few months ago, but you've been here long enough now. You may not understand everything, but you should at least be able to play along. :rolleyes

Hey everybody, lighten up on the street racing jokes. From the pic it looks like the car came to a nice controlled stop and the driver got out. He did everything he was supposed to do.

That's Gil Giambanini's car. Apparently the car back-fired and torched the K&N-type pleated filter in his CAI. Apparently the filter oil is an explosive - the explosion blew his hood open like that while he was tooling around in traffic. Gil managed to pull-over and jump out. He is OK. :buttrock

if your seriouse thats kinda crazy, i would figure it would just blow a hole in the intake manifold at most. :eek:

aftermarket part at fault = covered by insurance?

I believe the factory intake is baffaled in such a way as to prevent this and that the factory paper filter would sinch but not burn, right?

do any cars have an OE K&N style air filter?

this reminds me a of a huge tunnel fire in europe that was caused by a truck's intake sucking up a lit cigarette.

glad he made it out alive.
