The video shows very clearly that it was a fuel fire from the front and made its way along the bottom of the car/ground in fractions of a second.

It really drives home the fact to not fuck around when it comes to your fuel setup and to carry a WORKING extinguisher in your car.

In Showdowns defense their car looked well put together and not a hack, though I know they were rushed to get the car done for this event. Sad and scary to see a nice DSM go up in flames like that. Good thing the kid got out in time.
