I read the thread b4 wathcing the video. When I heard that the Ferrari driver was suing for starting under bad conditions, I thought that was pretty lame. But man !, that was like driving through soup ! I don't see any way a tight-packed stream of cars could drive through that, much less race. Would any of you folks drive though sh*t like that ?

And it's a weird thing about videos of car racing - no matter how fast they're going, it always "looks" slow. I mean you're thinking : this should only be a glancing blow, little bit of front end damage... then Whoomph.

From elocke's frame grabs, it looks pretty clear that it was the Pcar gas that got squirted into the air and went up first. Liquid gasoline (street gas, anyways) is barely flamable. I haven't actually tried it, but they say you can put a match out in a cup of gasoline. (Probably want good ventillation for that !) But once you get it sprayed into the air, you've got the perfect mix of fuel and oxygen. Scary stuff.
