Default Anyone at Sunshine 10/22??

i think it was the 22nd anyways, it was this previous week..

my friend was there and say a car blew up, and it happened to have nitrous in it, said the whole cabin was engulfed with flames and stuff, anyone know what happened...my dad caught wind of this and isnt so excited about me having it in the car anymore. but i was just curious if anyone saw it happen since i know a few of you attend regularly

oh alright, good to know, my dad was under the assumption the nitrous blew inside the car, but only way i would figure that to happen would be the line got cut in the car somewhere and a spark in there maybe would have done it. but thanks for the info.

Not sure if this has been said before, but nitrous does not burn.
