Compared to Jorgen Karlsson's and Ulf Rapp's incidents that was nothing 
It was when Jorgen Karlsson had his nitrous fire in testing at the Pod that I concluded that Ian Marshall must have several pairs of eyes and ears and several brains since he notices absolutely everything. Jorgen's car was drawing to a halt at the top end after a relatively innocuous-looking shake-and-nitrous-burp launch, and as he rolled to a stop and as we were all sitting there thinking that Jorgen had had his bell well rung Ian called the fire crew out to him. "Go and take a look, it looks like he's still got a problem", said Ian on the radio. Seconds later, as the fire crew were on their way, boom!
We all wondered what Ian had seen that we had not, to this day I don't know.

I still think Donnie Krusinski's nitrous fire is one of the most impressive demonstrations of how nitrous can ruin your day in a matter of seconds.

I remember that well - It has to be one of the worst nitrous fires I think I have ever seen also. I remember the boom as the fire bottles went up (yes they actually exploded) and the whole car just burnt to the ground in a matter of seconds. I remember the car was painted a similar colour to Obsession at the time, we were also there testing, and people were running over thinking it was us, all you saw very slowly creeping through the top end was a car on fire, and very earily everything was absolutely silent - until the boom, and the heat that came off it! we were parked against the fence right on the finish line, were the car came to a halt, and it was like somebody had turned a blow torch on right in front of you - it was that hot.It was when Jorgen Karlsson had his nitrous fire in testing at the Pod that I concluded that Ian Marshall must have several pairs of eyes and ears and several brains since he notices absolutely everything.

But as alway the fire crew were right there and put it out very quickly.
