Well guys today as i was going up to orlando to see my girl my radiator line exploded on me

literlaly exploded shit everywhere and the engine bay is now a complete mess

Why did this happen ??

I really dont know a whole lot about cars and what not so I dont understand it. Last night i was making low 13second high 12 second passes at the Club 1320 and the night before i made my record pass. Does that destroy my cooling system?? My car never goes above 158 degrees fahrenheit.

Hard to tell. If it is a exposed lower radiator hose something could have hit it. If it was a upper hose you could have a some sort of blockage in the system that created some undo pressure. Or maybe you are lucky and the hose clamp just came loose from beating it at the track. Unless there is some specific problem related to your motor I do not know what to really say.
