Ok, I wasn't there for this, but I run at MIR a few times a year and have seen these guys in action. We always see video of cars getting burned up needlessly, so here's one of a car that should have been a total writeoff that made the call for the next round because of a very well trained and well equipped safety crew. Yes, I know, not mopar, but...

Not every track is that good. That's why mine has a 10lb Coldfire system. I had a backfire in the garage a month ago that blew the top of the intake off. I hit the bottle,fire went out . Had to replace the throttle cable and repair a few small items. Didn't even hurt the paint. Best money I spent on the whole car.

I don't think I've seen any that are. I'm glad your car wasn't hurt worse, and that you didn't get hurt. I'm always afraid of that happening to mine (same intake).

Don, who is it? Might have seen the car.
Jeff, of course it does!
