i have heard of this happening but i saw it 1st hand today..

Guy pulled into the water box and did one of those 8,000 rpm burnouts :roll:

i saw someting shoot out from behind car and hit the burnout backer board...i didn't really think much of it ..my intital thoughts was piece of rubber etc..
anyhow as the guy bunny hopped on up, whiteish/Blue smoke poured out of exhaust with faint smell of Anti-freeze......

track official had him kill the car...a friend of mine standing next to me went over and picked up the object we saw come out from under car..he held it up from a distance and i said "ahh haa".....a blown out freeze plug...WRONG !...it was the entire freaking Exhaust valve (minus stem)....i have heard of this happening but never seen hit with my own eye's...what a freakin trip..

sound like someone throwing a SILVER DOLLAR on the track..... :shock:

Anyone ever see this happen before ?
