Scott Pruett had just spun in front of me and I was expecting him to take off with smoking tires - but instead I was treated with this flush of fluid coming out the back of his Lola. Later I found out that he had spun in his own coolant, and that that was what he left behind when he accellerated in front of me. A fitting on his engine had ruptured, letting all the fluid escape into the chassis. I didn't get my tiresmoke, but this image is so unique, I am not complaining!
