SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. (AP) - Two men who were apparently trying to take an
unusual thrill ride were seriously injured in an explosion at a shop that
builds and services race cars in Washington state.
Fire Chief Dean Klinger told the Skagit Valley Herald the men put about
four
gallons of methanol in a 55-gallon barrel in the parking lot Sunday night,
sat on top and lit it for a "barrel ride."
Klinger says, "Apparently it was supposed to slide across the parking lot
like a rocket. Instead, it blew up."
He says one end of the barrel flew 120 feet.
The men were responsive when paramedics arrived at Funk Racing. They were
taken to a local hospital, then flown to Harborview Medical Center in
Seattle with severe burns.
