An interesting fact about an oildown, the NHRA can impose a point deduction and a fine for the cleanup, and this is in addition to the 60 or 70 grand for the cost of the engine, and another 60 or 70 grand for the cost of the body. Ka-ching.
That fire probably required building up a whole new chassis from the spares they keep on the trailer; a lot of work for the crew.
