Not cool. He sure purged a lot for some reason. The other guys was purging through the motor I guess?

Yep, Viper system purges through the manifold. You can hear him revving and purging.

Man that sucks. Glad he's ok. And the guy who walked over to it while it was burning.

The other racer saw that Gary was in trouble....stopped his car and ran over to help him.

That's cool!

Those are close to 900 cube engines that burn through 2 bottles of nitrous each run. That was a normal purge.
