As I took green flag on Sunday I kept hearing reports on the radio on how we were consistently shooting flames out our exhaust! Anyone catch a pic or video of that !?!
not sure what was causing that- perhaps our disabled 3rd cylinder was getting fueled indirectly from the other runners. still, I love flames! Need to find a way to get those enabled permanently 
If the camera on the Peugeot was still working when I was running on Sunday it let out a good pop coming down from the Eagle's Nest that should have been captured on our camera. Problem is Sean's been too busy at work since we've been back to review the footage but I'm sure that he'll make sure that you get the footage of your car.
Finally getting to my track pictures and found this:
woo hoo! Thanks! Now I can die a happy man
I have a friend who was shooting at the race and spent a good bit of time trying to get the flame burp. I think he ended up with one or two really good shots (better than mind); I'll update when he gets those edited and onto the intertubes.
I spent quite a while in the Turn 11 flag station, camera at the ready, trying to capture the fire-spitting Merkur doing its thing. Never caught it.
Catching exhaust flames is not an easy thing to do. I couldn't tell you how many times I've tried. I still have never gotten a good shot. (Even with days where I have shot over 1000 pics, not a one.) Its almost as hard as shooting lightning.

Would it be legal to add a spare fuel injector that injects directly into the exhaust?
True, flames are elusive to catch. Clearly grabbing flames from video would be the best option.
Wow.. fantasizing about long, lurid flames for next race Need to add that to checklist for August!

You just need a very free flowing exhaust, and a cam(s) with lots of overlap. My real track car tends to blow a beach ball sized blue flame on decel fairly often. It however has carbs and pretty much an open exhaust (with some cracks in the header) and not much in the way of a muffler. It pops and crackles off throttle all the time.
