Anybody heard of such a thing? and how is this supposed to work?

SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. - Two men who were apparently trying to take an unusual thrill ride were seriously injured in an explosion at a shop that builds and services race cars in Washington state.

Fire Chief Dean Klinger told the Skagit Valley Herald the men put about four gallons of methanol in a 55-gallon barrel in the parking lot Sunday night, sat on top and lit it for a "barrel ride."
Klinger says, "Apparently it was supposed to slide across the parking lot like a rocket. Instead, it blew up."

He says one end of the barrel flew 120 feet.

The men were responsive when paramedics arrived at Funk Racing. They were taken to a local hospital, then flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with severe burns.

I bet they are one of the "Nation's 12 best garages..." and probably can't hook up a fuel line right just like all the other idiots on Ultimate Car Buildoff.

"SEATTLE -- One of two men critically burned late Sunday in an explosion at a shop that builds and services race cars in Sedro-Woolley has died."

To bad the guy died, took away my idea of poking fun at them for being fanatical fans of the RoadRunner cartoons.
