Racing stock cars ive never had brakes cause a fire and they get alot more abuse than a sand car. I bet there was a fuel leak that soaked the floor then got set off by whatever. could have even gotten fuel in the ignition system. just a guess. If it was running methanol you wont even see it burn till the fuel sets something else on fire????? what happened to the car did the owners ever show back up to get it?

it was one of Jose's cars at Sandrail Fabricators. he said a adrive axle broke and split a a fuel line. sparks etc. the rest is history. good thing everyone got out ok.

if a drive axle broke the fire would have started in the rear and burned foward... it looks as if the motor was damn near untouched?

Shut up!!!!!!!! You and your speculations!!! JK !!

DAMN!!! That sucks!!! :icon_twisted:

At first it looked like barefoot bob's, but I don't think it is.

That wasn't a Wicked Sand Cars was it?

Definitely a reason to have a fire extinguisher in the car. I always carry one.

Its in his garage

So why is everyone saying the owners were nowhere to be found?

I'm not quite sure I would be that close to the car especially when the fire is spreading from front to back towards the GAS TANK!!!!! :mischevious:

No, idea, but people where asking, i have video of that, thats where my stills came from, i can take pics of a video i recorded. He was never around, and it started to get dark so i left on my crf450(no light) so i don't know if he ever did come around after it was put out. Just telling you what i saw/heard when "I" was there.

We can upload that video to the server if you can send it too me, Gerrit. That might be kinda interesting to see. Let me know if you can mail me a copy on a cd. :mischevious:

No biggie if you can't, Gerrit. I thought it was on digital. I don't know that would be uploaded to your computer unless you have the software to do it. Don't sweat it if it's a pain to do.

Its true ocean, buncha hillbilly's watching tumbleweeds roll as a sport. Also bob the rule of living in Apple valley is that you have to take victorville people for rides in the rail, I know its sucks, but i didn't write the rule!

Looks to me like the hottest part of the fire is just behind the back seat or just in front of the engine which is about where the fuel tank would be.

It also looks like the wind was blowing from behind the car which would cause everything up front to go up in flames starting with the seats.. Lots of black smoke (as well as fire) in the front and lots of blazing fire in the back by the tank.

My first guess would be that the fire did start and is being fueled by the gas tank.. The rest is history... (Pun intended).

Definately hope he had insurance.. That would really suck!

I hear that same rule also includes people that live in Hesperia.

thats my friends rail

And what they told me was that the axle snapped created a spark and ignited the fuel.

They also said that the company is going to replace the entire rail!
