Smells like burning...

Had a friend drive my car today, and got some weird burning smells coming from it. Here's the story:

Normally I drive the car very gently until it hits operating temperature. My friend revved it a few times, after starting it up, and drove it around for a bit. Smelled a lot of gasoline right there at the time, and after a while noticed some sort of burning smell coming from the engine bay. Checked around, no leaks whatsoever...anyone know what it could be?
