Destroyed a set of split dominators, the hood scoop, windshield, and cracked a sheetmetal tunnelram a couple years ago due to a nitrous backfire. NOT pretty. It was noone's fault but the driver. He's been racing nitrous cars for nearly 30 years, but after a long day of frustrating testing, he wasn't thinking clearly. The hood scoop must have been 60 feet up in the air and landed 50 feet behind the car.
700+ miles from home, we leak tested the motor, borrowed another set of splits, JB welded the intake back together (after beating it back into shape w/ a hammer and 2x4 ), patched the scoop and windshield, and we were ready to race the next day.

That intake had burst panels, but like Monte said, they don't do much if it's gonna sneeze. CHIP
