I posted this in the pits too, but a lot of people don't ge there.
Not a pretty sight, all I know is this happened at Great Lakes Dragaway like a week ago, it's a 2g n/t auto running nitrous (not sure of the shot)and this is the video :(

Did the guy really have to punch the camera man though?
That wasn't very nice.

Though I've never been in the situation where my engine has blown, so I guess I wouldn't know what it felt like.

I'm just glad it was a head gasket and not a thrown rod or something to that extent. I think he was running a 100 shot on stock fuel system from what the guys on my list were talking about. Who knows :(

100 shot on a stock fuel system, no wonder he blew the head gasket. And your right he is lucky the nos didnt ingnite below his rings and throw the rod the wrong direction. :)

Damn its just a head gasket, Homie didnt have to slug the camara man.......shouldnt be running any thing over 60 shot on stock internals and fuel system anyway........I saw a guy run 14.9 with a 40 shot not bad......and he can still drive home
