    A Dodge Demon, after doing a burnout, caught fire at a drag strip. Check out this video.

    worst part is no insurance coverage since he was at the track.

    what i can not figure out is mopar pretty much done there home work on building this beast for the track, why in the hell did mopar not put a safety cut off switch on the rear of the car from the factory? not saying that the fire would not continue to burn . safety is always first and should be mandated ...there have been a few hell cats that burned down also..

    It's incredible that the track's safety crew got an attitude, when the driver could not shut his car off, and initially walked away and let it burn.

    Just imagine if was your Demon that was burning and no one tried to help.

    Owner seemed pretty calm watching his car burn away. Maybe he didn't realize no insurance coverage? I'd be screaming my head off.
