What was in the little bottle that Jimmy Prock put into Neffs fuel tank before they fired up the beast?
Very small bottle of some liquid?

Absolutley one of those little subtle classics! Love that flick!
Exactly, if the crew chief thinks at the last second that his tune up may be a little too much for the track, they "de-tune" it with a slug of alky.

Ignition at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I was there, The car moved about 3 feet and exploded. It sent parts into and over the stands. I remember Tom Hoovers wife carrying a chunk of blower rotor that landed in front of thier pits. You could hear parts tinging as they landed in the stands well after the car stoped.

I know they keep alcohol handy for any extended wait/rain delay/heat condition where evaporation might slightly change the percentage. Keeps them safe and can even soften the tune up a bit, as has been mentioned.
