...and that fire was started by oil drooling onto hot exhaust 
manifolds from the practically nonexistent pushrod tube seals.   The 
fire extinguisher not only put out the oil fire, it snuffed out the 
engine as well when it got sucked into the carbs.


I told 'em they should bring it back again next year and try to blow 
it up again...  gotta love the durability of a '60 engine.
