A fine-looking Chevrolet Camaro pro-mod drag car approaches staging at the Yas Marina drag strip in Abu Dhabi. But before it can get going, there’s a lick of flame from the intake. Seconds later, the whole front end of the drag car explodes in a massive fireball, just moments after the driver’s crew member stops poking his head into the intake.

Luckily no one was hurt and speculation suggest a leaking nitrous oxide supply was to blame.
