Corvette Blows Up

Alrite, well this is an addtion to the old vid where the vette blew up on the track. I think we said it was a nitrous hickup, well the guy whos car blew up, his freinds made a video of it and explained exactly what happened

"This is a tribute video to my friend (and President of my car club, Shocker Racing) James' 2001 Z06. He was at the track on 4-9-05 and we think his fuel pooled in his intake manifold and BOOM. BTW, he was using a window switch for his nitrous, and had the setup professionally installed. All that other BS you hear online is just that. This was a technical malfunction within the system."

Vette Blows Up

The original vid was taped by a kid. He might have been an asshole, but what excited ricer kid who just saw something like that isn't.

Anyways, they're not being much better themselves by exposing the kid...

Could someone who has already downloaded the file upload it to www.putfile.com? I think the link is going down because I'm D/Ling at 1kbps.

Edit: Nevermind, it's going good now.

bleh i dont know the whole story, but from what it seems hes gotta be about 20ish. i think they had every right for what they did. if u read some more places i think they said something about they were going back n forth online. so in either case, e-fighting isnt cool and your right both sides arent being very mature, but atleast the beginning puts the whole story to rest.

btw, whats that window switch they talk about?

I didn't find that thread either (I have unsubscribed from it) and not feeling like running searches for it out in the open

However, I have the url to that original video though
http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=Z06

p.s. I'll watch the follow-up vid later...
