    I've seen a lot of cars catch fire at the drag strip..it takes a lot to make a car literally blow up. What you see in the movies is pretty glorified. That car likely punctured the fuel cell to blow up that bad.

    Thanks for posting Jack. That was an amazing piece of footage. You don't have much time to think in a situation like that, luckily Kip Hughes got the adrenaline rush and just reacted. I agree with Evil D on the knife. Maybe they should keep an Assist bolted up somewhere near the driver between the steering wheel and the door.
