I was standing10ft from this car when it "went". No big noise, no high rev launch. Kinda wierd when it let go (he drove 1 foot then nothing). When mine blew on the dragstrip, it popped SUPER loud, and lifted the wheels off the ground almost, then the "black soot/smoke" poured out the vent and fenderwells. Complete opposite here. This guy (broeli) is a road racer, not drag racer as far as I know. Not sure of the history of the TC before he got it though.
