A classic example of the EXTERNAL combustion engine - also known as the visible I-6.

A little JB Weld and he'll be good as new.

The classic is the guy who comes into camera veiw looking around after the fire pop. Now is NOT the time to be looking to see where the fire extinguisher is. That should have been done before the start of the show!

It looks like the front dropped first, then blew the motor. With the way the thing spun down spitting parts out the side after the tractor stopped moving makes a guy think he broke something in the drive line first....

Don't take anything away from the Italians......scroll down to the test driver in the Ferrari. Not as big of an engine, but I'll bet the $ amount was higher....Ouchie Momma!

I saw a video one time of a top fuel drag bike that blew the piston straight out of the front cylinder, through the frame, and into the riders arm right after the tree went green. The guy let off the handle bars, shook his arm, and fell over. It looked like it hurt, but it wasn't as bad as this... This was extreme!
