There was NO bar under the tank, the tank was raised above the frame. Something sprung a leak, maybe from the blocks maybe not, and presto fire.

Im sorry to hear about tha Dime burning up . but at least he wasnt hurt. Trucks can be rebuilt, but Minitruckers are are hard to come by. we need all of them we can get to keep tha scene alive. Mitch with Chi-ching it sucked for him cause that was a bad truck but hes got 2 rods now and he told me he was thinkin about rebuilding Chi-Ching

to comment on WHY do people do this, I must say living in a redneck state, I get to deal with this alot (south Dakota) and you have to put it in terms people can understand.... why do you hunt raccons, its not like you are giong to eat them? need another davy crokett hat or something? its just something we like to do, it brings joy to us, like killing a raccon with a gun does for you (I personally would rather drag a raccoon to death, but thats personal preference). I am not callign anyone a redneck as a mean thing, its just a thing.. some people like different things, thats what makes this life so great, the diversity of all the different people. if everyone was as boring as you wouldn't you get sick of life? I know would just from the ignorant posts.. I agree with the whole do it safe, no other cars around, if you want to play with fire, then dont involve anyone else, drive in the packs, thats a good idea!
Kyle, sorry bout your truck man, but hey, its part of the sport... like drag racers blow $10,000 motors in less than 5 seconds, we can burn a truck to the ground... its just happens, keep your head up and would love to see progress picks of your next build!

haha, James & Mullet, cool!! I love that smell of wires melting on metal.. I think we all should have a gunrack in the back of our trucks... it could hold spare torsion bars or something useful like that?

I was there on the side of the road. Sucks about the truck man. Cant wait to see what u do with all the shit ur gettin for ur troubles.
Does anyone have any pics of the truck before it went up in flames? Sittin pretty or draggin?

Good luck with the next one man... And F$%k all the haters bro... u took that truck down in the BLAZE of glory. BUILT TO RAIL BITCHES!!!
