Guys,
The car had factory magnesium wheels with race tires for race work, and Brand X aftermarket wheels for street driving. He had suffered a wheel failure on the freeway a few days prior to the race, and didn’t notice that the brake had been damaged. He dragged the car home, fitted the race wheels, and off he went to SS. The brake hose failed when he applied the brakes at the finish line, squirting brake fluid all over the super-hot exhaust, and FOOM!
He now uses 16/17-inch Campagnolo wheels for street driving, and I think uses the same tires for high-speed work.
Here is the sad scene:

Guys,
The car had factory magnesium wheels with race tires for race work, and
Brand X aftermarket wheels for street driving. He had suffered a wheel
failure on the freeway a few days prior to the race, and didn't notice
that the brake had been damaged. He dragged the car home, fitted the
race wheels, and off he went to SS. The brake hose failed when he
applied the brakes at the finish line, squirting brake fluid all over
the super-hot exhaust, and FOOM!
He now uses 16/17-inch Campagnolo wheels for street driving, and I
think uses the same tires for high-speed work.

Go to 2:11 and take a look at the driver's side front wheel, might be
a
Campy (I'll have to ask him again). The entire car was engulfed at
one
one point, no wheel got away unscathed.

About the third video down the page.
I re-watched it after 14 years and noticed the firemen were probably
thinking the engine was forward the way they were trying to pry open
the hood bonnet from the front!
Originally I thought it was difficult to extinguishA due to Magnesium
Campy's but they were just after market alloys.
And surprisingly the passenger side wheels/tires look like they
survivedA unscathed!
FortunatelyA Dennis walked away to live another day.
Still tough to watch...
