Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.

That driver has ALL the skillz. Im not sure if those have some sort of auto chute deployment system, but did you notice how quick those came out too?

Edit- nm , looks like lanyard is connected to the body in case it strips itself off like it did.

I do know in many states you are not required to pull over for an unmarked vehicle, much less a POV. A reasonable officer would simply call it in and tail them from a distance if they had done something wrong.
