Last weekend was the huge "ZdayZ" annual Nissan rally at Fontana Village. They had over 1000 cars registered.

They also hosted a little drifting exhibition by Chris Forsberg, national drift champion. More video coming from this one...

"SOWO" European car rally in GA also took place, so lots of VWs and Audis passing through on the way there and back.

Unfortunately we had a bit of drama Friday, as the driver of this Audi slid off the road and got stuck in the leaves. The exhaust caught the leaves on fire, which in turn caught the car on fire. Driver escaped unharmed. Crazy firenado in this shot.

Driver was ok, some friends stopped and pulled him out of the car in a dazed state. Let this serve as a reminder that we should all carry fire extinguishers in our cars and on the bikes if space allows. They're super cheap, and just might save your vehicle or someone's life out here in the middle of nowhere.

There were a few pops/small explosions, but nothing major. Fuel tanks are so well vented these days they do not explode like you see in the movies, just a flare up and it's over.

I stuck a Garmin Virb cam down there because why not. Nothing else I could do at this point. Here you can see that the aluminum wheels on this side of the car have melted. The wheels on the other (cooler) side actually stayed intact.

It made for some pretty dramatic backdrops for those who dared to drive through...

I think this one will make a cool poster...you can even see a dragon in the flames! I put it up in our scenic wall art store at http://dragonscenery.com

It drew quite a crowd and took a couple of hours to die down.

Luckily the fact that it was on the downward slope side of the road meant the fire just worked its way up to the pavement and burned itself out.

Final results were sad to see, but the car is insured, can be replaced, and everyone was ok, and that's what matters.

Yes we all know how popular it is to badmouth anything you don't approve of, it's tired and played out. If someone finds joy in it, why rain on their parade? It's not bothering you, so grow up and move on.
