Master rod bearing failed and caused a few pistons to make contact with valves. The backfiring you hear is caused by a bent / broken intake valve and the resultant backfiring trying to blow the induction system off. He's lucky the cowl didn't come off.
Catastrophic failure, something that cannot be treated as catastrophic. Dmms. Dmms. Dmms. Alllllll good in the hood. Dont panic, maintain dmms, hit something flat and long. Youll live every time.
Tried to talk to this guy in the pits, regarding this event. Turns out he was the only egotistical jerk i met out of all the racers and crew that i encountered. Seems like this may be his Karma.
No way. I've met and spoke to the Sanders people many times. They were in a very dire situation, you didn't get ego attitude, you got them at their worst moment when they needed to be left alone. Have a little respect.
@@ModelA If he needed to be left alone, why was he out talking to spectators? He made quite a first impression, and I didnt need a second. The interaction was in stark contrast to every other racer that I met during the week.
@@MX304 Maybe so. But from my perspective, I had burned ALL my pto and my entire savings account in order to drive a 30 year old beater all the way from Vt and sleep in the car to see Dreadnaught. Heard in the parking lot that something happened in qualifying the day before while I was grinding out Nebraska and Utah. I admitted to him that I had only heard spotty information, and asked what happened, and whether there was any prospect of a repair in order to race. I can understand it might have been a sore subject, but I see no excuse to be rude to a fan. I was really put off, and discovered the race 43(?) N551H crew was very welcoming. Very humble people. I ended up liking that crew very much. Oh well. My first and only taste of Reno drama.
Great reactions, and great recovery. Me and Dougal were both talking about you today!
What’s up chief!!
Sounds like she was trying to hang on until the very end there, glad you were able to get to the ground. Amazing footage
glad you got it back on the ground !
Let's get that onboard footage!
Great Pilot doing that Pilot SIT...
What a FABULOUS vid this would have been if the f^@!ng camera had been rotated counterclockwise 90 degrees!
Just think of all the children that died because his camera was vertical. The horror!!
@@DreadnautVS Which of the major studios do you think will be the first to release a full movie in the Millennial Format?
That's crazy.
Was that the head and barrel coming off ?... hole in the cowling ?
A bird :)

Trade that speed for altitude and all's well !
Why can’t people hold their damn phone properly. This could have been so much of a better video.

Joel is one of the nicest guys around. You must have caught him at a bad time.
