... near Birmingham Alabama. It was a real challenge keeping the car on the pavement. And then it started raining.

Rain tends to enable accidents on the highway. That’s an annoying fact that most drifters have no problem ignoring.

Here’s some video I took.

And here’s a quick clip of me keeping it on the pavement; at least while in view of Morgan Hannah’s camera.

And that right there is why I need to put a hydro E and (ideally) a 3.55 traction-lok in the Crown Vic.

Is there a lot of contact in these events?

There were a few hits yesterday. Given the proximity, the fact that everyone is pushing it to the edge of control, and all of the variables with tire wear, track surface, and car parts breaking, there is surprisingly little contact.

Yup, I’ve seen that one. It’s neat, although I’ve found that when on stock suspension, it takes a lot of work to smoothly correct. Not that I’m on stock suspension anymore, of course.
