Either a massive cam, or something not quite right by the sounds.

Why do track prepared/rally cars emit flames from the exhaust on gear change?

[V8HSV]

Mine used to when it was MAF less, unburnt fuel ignited in the exhaust when it is rich or over-fuelled?

Could be flame kitted

Excess fuel igniting in the exhaust headers. Often used with turbo's as well.

Boosted.

Blimey, thought I'd been spotted there for a moment.... half an hour earlier going eastbound that could have been me.

Can be yeah. If they overheat, they can breakdown.
