"Black Sheep" Pulling Semi's Insane Engine Explosion!

The craziest explosion we have ever witnessed at a tractor and truck pull! Brenda, the driver, was ok thanks to the safety cables throwing the block forward instead of back towards her in the cab. The explosion happened at the Curd Capital Fall Nationals in Ellsworth, WI in September 2019.

[@henrik3129]

Those sparks/embers can be just flakes of oxidation/rust coming off the exhaust.

[@LeonardRoberts]

What you see sparking at the beginning of the pull is actually the clutch being slipped prior to full lockup, they start in a higher gear then normal so they can have the tire speed and ground speed, therefore need to slip the clutch at the start.

How does an engine pop out like that? Engine mounts shear : restraining straps should catch it. Also means all the bellhousing bolts must have sheared as well. I know the boost and tune in these means a lot more hp than stock, but heck.

Stock hp for a semi is roughly 450-750 with 1400-1700 ft/lbs torque. (Don't quote me, variables are endless). Some professional sled pulling teams are reporting 3,300 hp and well over 6,000 ft/lbs torque in their competition trucks. I couldn't find turbo psi, but stock is probably 35 and these guys are running over 100. It is INSANE the numbers that they can get out of these engines.
