Here are a few pics of a mustang that rolled at Willow Springs this past Saturday. It was a novice driver with an instructor. The driver got two wheels off in a turn and instead of giving up, putting two feet in, and letting the car go off he tried to correct. He spun, slid down to the other side of the track at speed, caught a wheel and flipped. He went over twice and then slid on his roof for a distance. Fortunately, both occupants walked away with relatively minor injuries.

That's a shame. For those that don't know, trying to fight back on the track when you go off is suicidal. Dirt's just dirt people, chill.

That is one of the reasons why I wouldn't buy a Ford.

Finally, a mod that enhances the looks and aerodynamics of the whole product line by at least 300%.
