![]() So my story isn't a race, but it was kinda scary.
I was getting on the freeway in Capo Beach about 12.30 in the morning. Running the Escort hard, somewhere between 50-60, got no dash lights right now. The on ramp is a decreasing radius right hander, but it is farily wide. Still on the gas in the corner, my front end starts to push, and I back off. Then it bites, the back end swings out, and I'm looking at things to hit out the rear glass. I did countersteer as it was coming, but with FWD, there was really no helping the back end. I'm not sure if I did a 180 or 540, but I aimed for a spot between two lightpoles, and ended up in the dirt, looking back down the ramp at a cloud of blue somke wafting up like fog. The car didn't hit anything, so I fired it back up and figured I'd best split before the cops got there. Went back the next day (in the other car) and was impressed with the skidmarks. My friends still refuse to ride with me ![]()
