BEFORE EVERYONE STARTS TURNING THIS AROUND AND NOT HEARING IT STRAIGHT.

TITANIUM BURNS REALLY HOT! AND ON A TRUCK LIKE THIS ONE WHERE THE GAS TANK IS MOUTNED LOW AND FAR REARWARD ON THE TRUCK, THE BLOCKS ARE MOUNTED IN FRONT OF THE TANK. AFTER 5 MILES OF DRAGGING WITHOUT STOPPING. THOSE TITANIUM BLOCKS COULD HAVE EASILY MELTED THREW A RUBBER HOSE ON THE TANK.

OUT OF ALL THE DRAGSESSIONS WITH ALL THE TRUCKS IN ALL THE STATES IVE SEEN. I GUESS ITS HARD TO SAY, BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS BOUND TO HAPPEN. IN THIS SITUATION IT HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK WITH THIS SET UP.

YES JASON AT SUCIDE DOORS IS THE MAN, AND GAVE HIM A NEW 5 LINK AND A BUCNCH OF MONEY TO HELP AND SUPPORT.

AND YES ONE OF MY CAMERAS WAS BURNED UP WITH THE TRUCK AS WELL! BUT HEY NO ONE WAS HURT.

YOU PLAY YOU PAY

I was there. I saw everything happen...It was so sad to see such a nice ride just burn to the ground like that! I was really upset to see how long it took for help to get there. We stood there for almost 20 minutes until the fire dept. got there to put the fire out. By that time there was nothing left of the poor truck! I guess the cops were too busy pulling people over for no reason to even bother showing up (at least the whole time we stood there)...Here's a pic I took for you guys...



desktop wallpaper'd!!!!

Poor guy, insurance wont cover crap when they get wind of this thread, so next time smart>cool.

MAN THATS FUCKING HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!Dude I can't even imagine how I'd feel if that happend to me. This really makes me want to relocate my gas tank into my bed, and stop draggingthe damn thing!!!!!!!!!!! But thats why I sprayed a skull on the tank just to warn people of that evil lil bastard!!! I send my most sincere condolences to the owner of that s-10, Sorry for your loss brother...

P.S. I'll put money on it being the fuel line that started the fire. I've had my F fuel line get knocked loose while dragging,and it was pissing out gas all over the place. The gas tanks on s-10's are not plastic there sheet metal.

why the hell would you mount TI blocks INFRONT of the gas tank?!?!? your just asking for that shit to happen. I feel bad for the guy but next time think before you drag and maybe do a dragbar or something in the rear nowhere near the tank.
