There was no fireball because racing planes only load enough fuel to take off, race, and land. That P-51 has an internal tank behind the cockpit so they don't have to put fuel in the wings thus making it lighter and more maneuverable. At the time of impact there was probably only a relatively small amount of fuel left in his tank resulting in no fireball. These guys weren't new to this and I am sure he certainly wasn't out of fuel.

@curzon09 I am a commercial pilot, so I think I know a little about this. Simply put, there was no fire because there was no ignition source. Watch the impact. Lots of fuel vapor in the air but no ignition source. Pilots have crashed after exhausting the planes fuel supply and post impact fires have occurred.

Interesting: NO FIREBALL. Looks like he ran out of fuel. Looking at the other plane crashing in West Virginia today, there is a hughe fireball!

@dabear He didn't run out of gas. Running out of fuel does not cause pilots to lose control, which is what happened here. It was flutter in the elevator that began the sequence leading to the crash. The pitch up was not commanded by the pilot. It caused the pilot to lose consciousness and he remained in that state for the next 7 seconds when he was killed during impact. My opinion on this crash is all this is.
