Explosive Drag Strip Disaster: Honda-Powered Toyota MR2 Shatters

A Honda-powered Toyota MR2 experienced a catastrophic failure during a drag race when its valve cover exploded, causing oil to spray onto the rear window. The driver was unaware of the issue until a track official alerted him to a fire and oil on the track. Despite the engine failure and transmission issues, the MR2 set a new personal best for speed in the eighth mile at 156.58 mph. The car is equipped with a custom-built Honda K-Series engine and can potentially produce 2,000 horsepower when properly tuned.
