It was dark , things show up then ..
Then you have to be careful in the dark for light can cause darkness to go away.

You have a straight pipe or muffler on that beast and is it turned up a bit in power? Straight pipe will shoot flame.

Probably just enough unburned gasses left over such that after passing through the turbo, they're heated past autoignition temperature, and as soon as they clear the stack, they get enough oxygen to light up again.
Back when I was a kid, my grandpa would take me to the Kozta, Iowa tractor pulls, and there was a guy there with an older turbodiesel... I think it was an Oliver... who, about midway down the track, would reach out over the hood and light a cigarette on the flame. It was his 'trademark'... but I doubt that antic would be allowed today.
