dodge demon blows trans during burnout at dragstrip fire and attitudes get in the way

Im sure there is more to this than meets the eye.
Safety guy says shut car off, you shut it off. Then attitude? Let it burn some, keep that driver off the track for a while.
A burning car is nothing to screw with. No protective gear whatsoever.

According to one comment "it would not turn off". Who knows what the story is. Ever opened a hood of an engine fire? I'm not too anxious.............
