Oh man I wonder why he didn't shut it off. Throttle was clearly stuck open.
That's a huge fear for the racers. One mistake by either driver and you can lose everything.

Reminds me of when we sent a bird up (RCAT drone) without the magneto kill wire plugged in. It's supposed to stop the engine when the recovery parachute is deployed. It was quite a sight coming down on the 'chute until it destroyed the propeller on the ground and stopped the engine.
An engine wrapped that tight sometimes will not shut off by removal of ignition. You have to cut the fuel as well. Pretty scary to be near something that powerful that's out of control.
