Through the years of attending NHRA and IHRA races I have seen engine explosions in which the motor comes completely out of the car.:cert:

Not as spectacular as the videos but when I was racing gokarts, one of the guys asked the "hot shoe" to check out an engine ( 5 hp Briggs on alcohol ) after the races were over, to see what he thought.

They bolted the engine to Doug's kart and he got three laps in ( 17 second asphalt track ) before the engine blew the rod out of the block. PRO TIP--- Put oil in the engine, they last longer :lol:

One of the wannabe's walks over to the piece of aluminum connecting rod that is literally smoking in the grass and picks it up :willy: Well, he picked it up for about 1.5 seconds before he dropped it. :rofl:
