Shakedown at E-town Huge Nitrous EXPLOSION Jeff Rodgers

Huge nitrous EXPLOSION Close Up of Jeff Rodgers (Executioner) Nitrous Pro Mod 11-8-09 Blew a hole in windshield..shreaded upper intake and scoop. Look at the scoop to see the nitrous pouring out just before the Boom! FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM! / city_country_phillypic...

[@12799MaDeuce]

Wow round of applause for the crew getting the fire out so quick!

[@DracoOne]

The guy who was holding his elbow deserves a raise. The first thought he had after reeling from the concussion of the explosion was to dive BACK into the car and help the driver get out.

[@stu460]

how tuff is the guy helping out the driver,,,100% legend...

[@maro69camaro]

Solenoid stuck open. thats why you hear the motor change tone. He shuts motor off and it fills with nitrous and boom.

[@Chuckl881]

That kid who jumped back in to help the driver get out was a real hero. In one of the comments it was mentioned that he was the driver's son. Even so, it took real courage to stay in there, in a t-shirt, in the flames, until the driver was free.

1:40 "Fuck I fit my funny bone!"

"He's got enough NOS in there to blow himself up, period!" - Ja Rule.

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

+Fiction Supreme now me and the mad scientist gotta rebuild the block you just blew.

[@andrewbutcher9449]

+Your Mom Your Mom It was the piston rings he fried

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

I know, I remembered after i posted haha

[@Youngbl33zy]

When you clearly see the nos flooding out of the air intake you know something's wrong..

[@mattdias3412]

The executioner has become the executed.

[@NJPurling]

The intake below the carbs/throttle bodies is a chamber. It looks like the top is like a lid on a coffee can. It blows off in the event of a nitrous explosion, venting the explosion. If not then the intake disintegrates and sends alloy shrapnel flying.

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

@ John Reese, Dude you have yourself all kinds of mixed up. First. Nitromethane is completely different from Nitrous Oxide. The crap you can buy at your local Autozone labeled "NOS fuel additive" Does NOT contain Nitromethane or boosts your octane. It's just snake oil (some flammable stuff that doesn't add horsepower or add octane) and has no benefits for you or your motor. Second running Nitromethane on a motor not built to take the type of burn of Nitro or Alcohol Fuel will destroy itself. It's a completely different burn, and the Nitro should NEVER be mixed with Gasoline. (Top Fuelers typically start with a shot of Methanol to the intake and then run off the Nitro. -These fuels mix.) Third: More octane doesn't mean more horsepower. It means more resistance to detonation, which is important when running high amounts of boost or compression. (which in turn usually means more horsepower). However when running Nitromethane and Alcohol fuels, you are essentially detonating all the time. Which is partially where the aggressive and intense power is from. This is why drag motors are typically run only for one race, then retired, block inspected, and then rebuilt. Running top fuel is essentially "Controlled Detonation". The motor hates you which is why you always see these guys blowing up and catching fire. It's all about harnessing that ticked off demon in the fuel.

[@barath4545]

Eyebrows Mahoney Very nice writeup!

[@MET90LX]

the ticked off demon in the fuel. lol i thought i read harrassing instead of harnessing so i chuckled out loud.

[@simoncorbett3003]

well penned.

[@jasongleiter]

Thanks! It's a Sony HDR-SR12 high def with dolby 5.1 surround. Also a cheap stabilizer.

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

And this folks, is exactly why Pit Crews wear fire retardant suits.

[@jasongleiter]

explosion started in the exhaust, he never shut it down, it sounded like it but was actually idling very low. You can see frame-by-frame on my facebook page (shot at 30fps)

[@jgto17]

It looked like a nitrous solenoid failed. when they fail, they fail open, it happened to me once, the car rev's like crazy until you shut it off. the nitrous then started flowing out of the intake manifold and must have caugh fire from a hot spark plug strap maybe?

[@zlumlord]

Props to you EXCELLENT FOOTAGE!!!Wonder why it took sooo long for someone to kill the power........

[@jasongleiter]

It looked like he said it wont purge? In The video (on my computer) I can see nitrous coming out of the scoop slightly Before he tried the switch (or whatever he hit) as soon as it stopped revving..

[@Jhihmoac]

I knew that was coming..."When you hear the 'pop'...It's back to the shop!"

[@ts4864]

@sc2958 so does that mean youre saying the fog comming out of the scoop was not nitrous?? i may be confused...

[@SuperSpetterpoep]

So he turned the NOS bottle open which overflood the intake and boom?

[@jasongleiter]

yup! Ironically the previous day, and this day the announcer was constantly having to tell people to clear the start area. Way too many people were in the area from time to time. Needless to say this is all it took to keep the area clear.

[@wizerulz]

That done "BLOWED-UP" REEL GOOD!! Watch the exhaust loading up and the vapor cloud forming in front of the scoop for several seconds before....

[@Six7Malibu]

What do you mean by "also a cheap stabilizer"?

[@JUST2y]

that's fun and all but can these cars turn??

[@hoon383]

Pit crew guy showed some courage running in to turn off the bottle despite getting burned.

[@baller7626]

that pit crew guy is the drivers son! i know them and lets just say this he will do anything to save his dad! his dad has done a lot for him!

[@davetishko6439]

Anyone else notice that the nitrous bottle was rocking when the guy opened the valve? The bottle should be solid mounted.

[@jgto17]

yep, you're probably right. big shot nitrous cars are scary when they backfire.

[@TheGixxerMister]

Pop goes the Weasel.

[@benn424424]

that guy had balls

[@502c10]

godd job getting the bottle off, by the way, has anyone seen my hood scoop?

[@jasongleiter]

Thanks man! Yeah.. the only thing I can guess is everyone was stunned.. I felt like I got punched in the chest. But that needs to be someones Job..live and learn. LUCKY no one got a serious burn or shrapnel

[@spencejr007js]

Pit crew guy is brave as hell, looks like he got slightly burned, props to him

[@lexiebrann9327]

Does anyone know who Jeffs Sons name is? if so plz message me

[@animalbob497]

The guy who getting video was funny!!!😂

[@MatMabee]

1:21 You're welcome

[@AndyWarren]

@DracoOne Yea, pretty awesome. Alot better than the photographer just standing next to it snapping pictures.

[@DeltaBluesClassics]

1:24 on the scoop. that's a bad sign.

[@J.A-CA139]

when it exploded it scared the EVERLIVING SH*t out of me

[@Narutofan1000k]

Still should have left the driver to do it.

[@takedown4x4]

that scared me when i was thier

[@ShaneDoyleSullivan]

Anyone else notice the irony of the car being named "executioner"?

[@dezza718]

awesome

[@cuvkiller]

1:20 don't get scared

[@Jims07yfz450]

Maybe the guy that was in the car trying to help his buddy out should of waited until the fire was out.. After all the driver did have a fire suit on...

[@rcktpwrd]

WOW!

[@calmdownbuddy31]

Too Soon Junior

[@deepnhock]

Power shut off was the first thing he/they should have hit (to kill the fuel pumps). Good he tried to shut off the bottle, but the nitrous itself won't burn. He'd have been better off to hit the shutoff and then shut the bottle off.

[@overyonderjustapiece]

uhh, I would disagree on what to shut off first. The solenoids jammed open is why there was a plume of fog coming out of the intake. With that, SOMEONE should have told him to NOT try to start the car back up, cause it obviously died on him. Shut off the bottle to stop the nitrous flow, THEN shut off the batteries and let it sit with the throttle wide open to dissipate the nitrous faster. It is lighter than air and will dissipate quite quickly and therefore not be a danger anymore when trying to restart without the nitrous bottle on. I speak of this from first hand knowledge..

[@deepnhock]

Ed H I'll stick with power shut off first. So will the safety people. Hopefulley they will never face that scenario again.

[@overyonderjustapiece]

I hope not either but I will still go for the bottle first...

[@lilybrand_x.x7729]

I think he had a heartatach

[@davidr4332]

It funny when you hit your funny bone .

[@drakemorley7204]

Damn

[@CharlieAtkins]

[@MrAsianPersuasion824]

Happens at 1:20

[@ridinhigh3802]

but y

[@lucacapozzi6972]

Hahaha car + nos = vavavuvaaaa! !!

[@iDrinkJ4ck]

"...the executioner trying to execute its own crew member." seconds later BOOM. haha i've been next to one before scariest fucking thing, but a solenoid didn't fail, my idiot cousin left the nitrous ON and pumped the gas before cranking it over. haha his carb flaps went through his hood and were never recovered lol

[@elliotivan]

for the next....let the driver do the switches,check the video,PROBABLY...pitman mistake...!!!!!!!

[@MrMjsmith626]

Looks like another Chevy bits the dust...(that's today's shove-or-lay...cue the steel guitar) the executioner executed itself BMF Chuck bucket Looney Tunes,I thought you told me Chevys don't blow up??.What's going on?.

[@fyukyu461]

#MrMjSmith626hasheadupass

[@baller7626]

LETS JUST SAY THIS THAT MUSTANG WILL KICK A CHEVYS ASS ANY DAY!!! GO JEFF RODGERS!!!

[@fyukyu461]

Just exactly what's "Mustang" about it? The composite replica body?

[@tylerfreeman4628]

Alexis Brann Chevy is better. that's why you never hear someone say small block ford.

[@behopp]

Tyler freeman, you just said it you moron.

[@CodyLee6969]
