Here is what is left of the air cleaner.
So what was it, a backfire?
Yeah from bouncing off the rev limiter due to hitting whoops. The third bounce is what did it in.
Ouch, that could have been a lot worse. Glad to hear you’re ok and the truck.
Photo by the same guy who took the earlier fire ball photo. I believe it is my nephew taking a earlier test pass.
A couple weeks ago, I went to the Avenal sand drags, but only did a couple of test pass before we broke down. A photo popped up today on National Sand Drags News.
Glad damage was minimal and you are OK. You have any videos of it? I think your rig is awesome and I like watching it make sand runs.
I've seen it bend throttle blades and everything if the solenoid leaks into the engine and then they start it. I always make sure the bottle is off until the engine is started and if for some reason it gets left on between rounds I make sure to crank the engine over with the spark off and the throttle open to clear it out for several revolutions before I turn the spark back on. Obviously that isn't what happened to you.
Many people don't get their rotor phasing correct for when the retard is active during spray and then it can cause issues with timing breaking up or jumping to the wrong cylinders. It's one of the benefits of the DIS, unlimited timing changes with no rotor phasing to be concerned about.

The carburetor did get a little burnt, and we are going to send it out to get checked out. It was wasn't damaged enough to not run luckily.
I didn't get videos of it, but quite a few people did and posted all over Facebook. Unfortunately Facebook doesn't allow media to post on other platforms.

I tried it and it worked. Probably has to do with a privately setting and that one was "open". The ones in a private chat group is going to be worse.
One of my biggest gripes about Facebook.
yep, probably a private group and I agree with ya, bookface sucks
The next upgrade. 
So it that a lighter single range full time 4x4 transfer case? Or what exactly is it?
That and it is a quick change transfer case. We can change our overall gear ratios by changing out a pair of gears.
Remove the adapter and charge out the input and first idler gear.

I've seen those used on the mud trucks too.
