One spectator goes from cheering the driver on to attempting to stomp the fire out with his sneakers.
The driver stayed inside the car when the fire first broke out, but did eventually pull over to the side so that a fellow Poker could put the flames out with an extinguisher.
The man's attempt to show off his racing skills ended with four burnt black patches on the ground.
