All was well at Spring Mtn until about the second to the last lap.

It's not horrible, but still I really hate to see it looking like this.

Holy crap man, more importantly are you okay? Sorry to hear (and see) about your car, it can be fixed or replaced tho. Hope your okay man. What happened on the second to last lap?

I came out of the corner that leads to the start/finish straight when it fishtailed several times before I, out of fear for our lives, backed out of the throttle. The ass came around and the only trick left in the bag at that point was brakes so I hit them. The turn is right about where the street sweeper is in this pic I took. You can see where I went off into the tire wall.

My passenger and I were fine. It's nice to hit tire wall backwards. They suck up a lot of energy.

Thanks! It was performing great. A couple of people said I was the best driver not working for Shelby! The "P" springs, CC plates, BMR boxed LCA's with relocation brackets along with the 285 Hankook R-S3's all around made it a beast on the track.

Here's some crappy video from my iTurd. The Shelby Focus is featured here as well. No video exists of the crash.

I'm assuming insurance will not cover this???

He said he has track insurance.

Good that you OP for get track insurance, but sucks about your nice Boss. When I wrecked my Terminator at the track my insurance company basically gave me a big fat FU and quickly dropped me.
