..drastic increase in cylinder pressure has increased the local temperature (and molecular speed) so high that it has reached the ignition temperature of the fuel.
Or...ping-o destruct-o.

I suppose my having a dirtbike means I'm as good a rider as Derek Steahly or Jeremy Puma, too.

Gee...I never thought of it that way!
