Fire!!!!

Well, i was stupid.
I put my 50 trim back on so i could go to MOD (mitsubishi Owners Day) and i made a huge mistake with the oil feed line, I had one barbed nipple on the turbo side, and a barbed on the feed line. So i took a small peice of fuel line and clamped each side.
Well Tonight i went out to our local meet and my buddy with the true silvia showed up. We got a couple races set up and decided to go to the spot and do a couple runs. On the way to the spot me and the silvia decide to make a run. After the run i see a ton of smoke coming inside the car and out the back of the car. I was thinking it was the head gasket so i slowly pull over to the side of the road. My roomate who was in the car with me yells "GET OUT! your cars on fire"
I jump out and see the fire in the engine bay and out the bottom of the car. Im running around frantically trying to put it out but none of us had a fire exstinguisher. the cops were on their way. The cop tells me to open the hood and sprays the fire out. I got it towed to the house...
and here is the aftermath....
