wagner Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Mother fucking fuck..... glad to see Mark got out ok, fire is the most terrifying thing a race car driver will face. Mark if you and Tommy need help thrashing let me know. Hope she will be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wonder what the cause of this was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wonder what the cause of this was. O-ring or injector failure would be my guess. Maybe freak fuel line issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I figured something fuel related but didn't want to speculate. Hopefully the car is not a total loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wow! Glad to hear Mark is OK...car looks to be in one piece as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller11386 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I saw this in person. After blasting through the traps at 207 with a 7.2, the car just burst into flames. I didn't get to hear what caused it, but the car looked in pretty rough shape. Most of the damage was from the firewall forward from what I saw. Glad Mark is OK, and I hope you guys didnt have too much go up with the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 wow....wow.... Im guessing bill lutz insures it and since marks looks to be fine. I bet he has it back together quick. I know lutz pays quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
