What was a Big Red, is now extra crispy. Fuel rail hardware got loose, gas leaked all over the engine while on the track, and it all went up in smoke



After updates and while testing at Buttonwillow Raceway to diagnose some of the new build's teething issues the cooling problem was seemingly sorted, so R.J. returned to the track for more testing. Then, smoke, flames, and cooking the paint off before the fire and safety team could arrive. It is said to be rebuildable. http://www.hotrod.com/news/big-red-camaro-fire-caused-fuel-system-failure-rebuild-planned/
