Danny, Ask Ingle about LS3s. Two or three at the Run Offs alone plus the previous ones.

No flames but 10 times the smoke (especially being 10 feet behind ya). Your corrective action to pull off but keep off the burms was magnificent though...

I was in the right side of the camera car. Little surprising to see that in DE1/2.

I talked to the owner after the event when they brougt his car back into the pit area. He told me he hit the rev limiter several times and should have shifted sooner. It just melted the paint off the back of the car.
The session before we did the practice red/black flag drill. So when I saw the red flag again in this session I thought they got our group mixed up.

Bouncing off the rev limiter should not pop the motor
