I wouldn't want to know that guy. What a meathead. If your'e going to take it to the track, make sure you know how to drive. It looks like the HP got away from him on an early shift (1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd) and lost his traction. That's what it looks like to me. It's almost embarrassing to watch. Now I'm starting to feel sorry for the guy.

Dont even bother too, He just learned a very valueable lesson. them ugly aftermarket rims and tires did him no good. he should have left the stock ones on, he may have never did that.
but you are right, he also needs to learn how to drive
If you look close the Stang nose-dives and the reaer wheels are going in reverse.On the side shot you can see the front wheels still in forward rotation...........classic case of.oooooooooooops I hit reverse!

after watching over and over pauseing and rewinding. your right, man he shoved her in reverse. LOL
I don't know... I couldn't see the reverse lights come on.
Seems like he has a manual. I'm guessing he went very high rpm's cause he was getting beat. You can see the nose dip as he goes from 1st to 2nd. I'd guess that he then put it back to high rpm's before letting out the clutch and spun the tires. That got him a little not straight and he paniced, hit the brake then over corrected then blammo. You can even see the rubber he left on the track before he spun. Poor guy
Oh well sucks for him
I'm probably wrong anyhow. My knowledge of cars is... 4 tires, put in some gas and that little deal on the floor there makes it go ;o)
There's no way he hit reverse. With high RPM's, it would be extremely hard to even get it in reverse. Plus, reverse is below 5th gear, why would he go from 2nd or 3rd all the way over to the right to reverse? Somehow, he lost his traction and it very well could have been the aftermarket tires. Yep, it was a hard lesson learned.

there is no way you can engage reverse at those at those speeds....not with a manual transmission... but anyways, if you look closely at the video you can see the tire mark on the road from the rear driver side tire just before he lost it. I think posi-track let him down. or his tires are crap. or it was driver's error....I don't know.
Well...........whatever happened it's safe to say...............It's a ride he'll never forget
I was talking to guy who claims it was him in that video he said his rearend end busted,
so I guess his postive traction failed him. on that web link they have a chat forum
