Since we used to do stupid stuff like that...( I remember rocket motors made from CO2 cartridges and gunpowder....they made great high speed metal splinters! ) smart people started Estes Rockets & make prepackaged solid fuel engines...and the sport is so much safer now. ( as safe as any thing involving stuff going 200mph )

A muffler, gasoline & gunpowder? He's lucky to be alive.

Fuse......check (6" aught to be plenty)
Gasoline...check(race,regular or 10% ethanol??)

"At some point during the ride, the device exploded," McCabe said."

...

Ah.. Yeah, at the point when the lit fuse met the Gas and Gunpowder.
