How about the airway between the back of the block and the trans, (what's left of it). Why do people who don't have any evidence of what took place have to tell us what happened? Sheeh. I hope the guy is Ok. Looked like he wasn't able to get to his feet.

no surprise that POS blew up and it's a safe bet that car wasn't teched either. The only surprise is the driver still had his feet attached to his legs!

what part of the truth and the facts don't you like? The driver don't know how to do a burnout and can't find the prestage beam so what makes you think he had the grey matter to assemble a safe and legal car?

Sorry Ed - next time I will check with you before giving my opinion which included more than a trans failure

Suspicious lack of parts and trans fluid on the ground and the flash fire seemed suspicious as well.

After responding to this you can go back to sleep
