That is a thing of beauty! I sure hope they can rebuild her and continue to show them all how it should be done.
Those photos of the driver sitting in the middle of that fireball are a little unnerving. It looks like he is okay, but I bet that was terrifying. It sounds like there was nothing that could be done to stop the meltdown, all he could do was wait for it to self destruct. I can only imagine how disappointed the owner is at this point.

If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!

This happened at the Fulton Co. Fair pull at Wauseon, Ohio. From what i'm told by folks that were there, the wheels were still turning, wide open, full throttle untill it blew. The injection pump may have failed, but something also let loose in the clutch area and wouldn't stop. The only thing holding it back from disaster was the chain on the pulling sled. If anyone has video of this, please post it.

Scott Diuble (owner): "Thank you to all concerned fans, pullers & tech officials about
myself and Pumpkin Gone Mad . I’m fine, the tractor is not. We are
disassembling to see just how bad the motor is. This is what we do
know: Injection pump stuck open not allowing to idle back down. The air
flapper was shut (guillotine style) and the dump valve was pulled (both
are always checked before pull by tech officials). Accroding to the
computer it ran a total of 48 seconds which 10-12 seconds was the
actual pull and the rest was sitting there with the tires spinning. The
flash fire was oil residue on manifold after the engine finally sopped
running. There are no holes in the block and all the connecting rods
are still intact. We are suspecting the engine continued to run on
engine oil through a turbo / turbos since we only drained out about one
gallon of oil. Again thanks for you support and we will see you back on
the track--------someday."
