[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 357455, member: 12148"] WKMAC, Your need to post repetitiously sometimes knows no bounds. With Scott Kalitta, you said his chute didnt deploy, yet if you actually watch the video, you will see that it did. You come to baseless conclusions about what happened to cause this, yet its really simple. A pure blower failure and top end explosion. Nitromethane is very flammable, more flammable than oil. Your oil conclusions or suggestions are also baseless. The blower is filled with high explosive nitromethane and once a blower fails, the blower will house an extreme level of combustable fuel and the heat alone will set it off. Oil will not cause the top end of the engine to fail. You are looking at a still photo and drawing some conclusion that is wrong. The engine explodes at the top end bout 1/4 of the way down the track, then showing the flames of the fuel mixing with the air (which makes the flames yellow) and then after hitting the retaining wall at the end of the track (another stupid piece of designing)you see the fuel tank explode on impact confirming the same yellow flames. Look for the chute, and its always a sad day when any american loses his life, not just in racing. [/QUOTE]
