Word is nitrous back fire and blew the fuel rail/line? You can hear nitrous backfire before the fire. Very sad indeed since they put a lot of effort into this car and that's the first drag event for the car.

I have also seen a few nitrous accidents at the track. Blowing up the the manifold and a piece of it landed on a track marshall and injured him.

Nitrous is a good/cheap way to go fast, but no matter how safe you think your setup is, one day it'll bite back :( I have seriously consider to get a direct port kit for my car but I just can't get the nitrous explosion image out of my mind lol. Well, I'll just go all boost :)
