Harvey on his first pass is shown pedaling the car.

The throttle is halfway opened as the pedaling continues on the first pass.

This is not a burnout! The torque converter has split and fluid is sprayed everywhere including the tires!

Harvey is coasting as the fluid pours out the bottom. Curt got the dragster off to the side ASAP.

The Redline crew had to light the track surface to get the synthetic trans fluid completely off the track.
