A while back, I used to run a nostalgia funny car.
Worst explosion I had was in St. Loius, had a mag go bad off the line and with a motherload of nitro going into the deal, blew the blower right off the top, splitting it and the intake into several pieces and sending the body (71 Mustang) into the air.
Got the car stopped in short order, tried to put the fire out (track guys finally did) and looked back at what was left of the whole deal.
A very expensive weekend....
