FIRE: Chris Rado grenades his 1,200 horsepower Scion tC at Global Time Attack
Chris Rado pushes his 1,200 horsepower front-wheel drive Scion tC to the absolute limits this weekend at the Global Time Attack season opener at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Buttonwillow, California. Coming around one of the final turns of the course Chris lost a cam sensor which ended up locking up the engine and putting a rod through the block igniting the fire and burning the entire engine bay and many of the electronic components. The Safecraft fire system failed when he pulled the cable, but nevertheless the driver walked away unharmed and nonchalantly extinguished the fire with his on board fire extinguisher.
