I was standing right next to track when this one went off. (This is the best video I can find out of it, was very busy)

Amazingly the driver got out unhurt.

Clearly the crank, rods and pistons were a lot stronger than the engine block in this case!

They did take a while to get there but the guy got out ok.

A lot has changed since then regarding health & safety, including the closure of the barn behind sadly.
