A battery kill switch would've been nice.

Yup... I was wondering why nobody killed the power... even with no external kill switch, driver should have hit the main or key before bailing out.

nitrous is not flamable by itself.. Looks like that fire was being fed by the electric fuel pump from the tank that the dummy didn't turn off when He got outta the car, Great Safety Safari they had there too!! Fireproof Shorts & Sandals??

To me, looks like the problem is from installation error....Takes a fuel leak to get a fire like that.....other then a purge, why would he have the nitrous on when staging the car????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I didn't see him get out, was wondering why he didn't hit the kill. I'd say that track needs better tech if they let junk like that run.

It looked as if the battery was in the trunk with a kill switch under the rear bumper right side.

This is what the kill switch is for, no? Maybe someone should have hit it(?) Originally Posted by pizzi-man

Yep. And I seem to move 1 thing and it displaces something else with 1/2 of that landing on the workbench and then I forgot where I was going with this other thing and I'll see something else that...
