Mishaps can occur with <em>any<\/em> car, and by racing at the track. The only casualty here is a sixth-generation Mustang. The driver was okay, and nobody else was involved. We can respect that.<\/p>\n<p>This unfortunate outing occurred at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We don&#8217;t know exactly when, but it appears to be a test-and-tune night with simple heads-up racing. The Mustang and its competition \u2013 a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 according to the Wheels YouTube channel \u2013 roll to the starting line with zero people visible in the far bleachers. A lack of spectators is common during such events, or it may have been a private track rental.<\/p>\n<p>Neither car does a burnout, which may or may not be a contributing factor in the crash. Doing a smoky burnout with street tires can actually make traction worse, and there are other variables like track temperature and surface prep that all factor into starting-line grip. We don&#8217;t know what kind of tires this Mustang had on the back, but the wheels look different and those hides look pretty darned wide. That suggests something track-oriented, and that could definitely lead to traction issues without a burnout to heat them up.<\/p>\n<p>And there are traction issues. Both cars show quite a bit of wheelspin off the line, but the Corvette pulls out to a quick lead. It&#8217;s hard to tell if the Mustang driver ever has grip, but there&#8217;s no missing the back end stepping out to the left just a few seconds into the race. A quick correction is made, but the car spins in the other direction and hits the wall hard. After a few moments we see the driver exit the car.<\/p>\n<p>We also see an Instagram tag for Mayos5.0 on the Mustang&#8217;s side window. The account features several photos that appear to show the car in question; we messaged the account with our condolences and to see if there&#8217;s more information on exactly what went wrong. We will jump in with a response if we hear back, but for now, we&#8217;re happy everyone walked away without injury.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/699878\/ford-mustang-gt-driver-crash-drag-strip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s trendy to joke about Mustangs crashing, but this person followed the golden rule by taking it to the track [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50463,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
