Probably didn't bug them too much since they came back around and ran what I understood was something like a 48 just a while ago?

That is correct - looked very strong on a previous 1000' shut off.

That is as ugly a run as this one:
Is the body's burst panel caught in the bird catcher?
Sometimes when you have a very fast shutter speed on your camera (especially during a sunny day) it will catch the action of only one bank. If it was an igniton problem there would have to be fuel spewing out both banks because the fuel doesn't just stop if the ignition doesn't fire. Yes, it may have had a hole out on the left bank as well. Plus the tires are just squatting so the engine RPM may not be as high so the shutter speed has more of a chance to catch fewer cylinders lit. Has anyone ever seen one in super slow motion? I'm talking 1000 FPS, you can see the exhaust flames of an individual cylinder in 4 or 5 frames.
Example: If the car has only reached 6000 RPM, thats 100 RPM/sec, which is 50 firing pulses per second. If your camera shutter is set a 1/25 of a sec., you have just captured only 2 firing pulses. So it is possible that you could capture only cylinders 5 and 7 firing in order (18436572). One bank only.
At night when you can see the flames and the shutter speeds are slower thay tend to show up in the picture much better. Also, your eyes can only see a certain frequency, I forget the number. So your eyes can't slow the action down as fast as a camera.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Thanks for the post Mike. It really helped as to why you don't see the other side of the engine firing.
Thanks,

Gotta love wikipedia:
Here's an answer that's really no answer at all:
Motion perception is the process of inferring the speed and direction of objects and surfaces that move in a visual scene given some visual input. Although this process appears straightforward to most observers, it has proven to be a difficult problem from a computational perspective, and extraordinarily difficult to explain in terms of neural processing.

Ugly run indeed. I was sitting next to Paul and took it about the same time.

It does look like the burst panel may have lodged the injector open.

ISO is just sensitivity to light. What was the shutter speed?

You beat me to it Mike.
I have taken a few shots with a high shutter speed and have only caught flames out of one bank.
Sometimes even a ball of fire in the air.

According to my digital camera manufacturer, Sony, the ISO setting on a digital camera is the same as the shutter speed so my shutter speed was 100, equivalent to ISO 100, which I manually set.
