It's a short video.  8 seconds long, to be exact.

Piston exits engine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2GLrZSTsI8#)

Need I say more?

I have always wondered why these guys don't have something like the transmission blankets they use in the dragsters.

Good question, actually.  As I recall, there was a guy on a top fuel Harley that had a piston go and it killed him.  Crazy stuff.
