This is some crazy stuff -

I'm perplexed as to how they would have ran a twin engine car like that without problems anyway. You cant see much when the fire starts, but you see the results later. Bad stuff.

I think it is mainly due to whoever fabbed the rear engine mounts not knowing what the heck they were doing lol.. Never seen a motor shake that bad, likely leading to the fuel leak... The even dumber part is why need nitrous? It looked to be a track car so why put nos on their?
