Between the last possible second where everything is still under control and good, and the moment where impacts are made and the chocolate has hit the fan, there is time. It’s often said that in those moments, the world comes to a standstill and that your purist thoughts appear. I’ll agree that those few precious seconds between “Aw, #@$*” and “…ow” exist…I experienced them first-hand while riding dirt-bikes. But what does one think about in those seconds? From my experiences, there’s only one clear quote: “This is gonna hurt”. But that’s just me…always focused on what’s ahead. And sadly, I was never wrong in predicting the future.
I’ve seen this photo floating around, and I’m sad to say that I know nothing about what’s going on here. I don’t know the track, the event or the driver of the Mustang. All I do know is that the driver is not having a great day. But the photographer nailed the moment of solitude, the point of clarity. If you stay quiet and concentrate, you might hear what the driver is thinking as the ill-fated Fox floats graceully in the air, moments away from grinding metal and shattering glass. Our question for you, readers: what is this driver thinking, right now?
Did I turn stove off before I left the house?
did i bring a change of underwear
“I wish I ´d swapped out that stock suspension…”
No Ragrets.
I have made choices, and they may not have been good.
FOR THE QUEEN!
And then the poor pony choked on the bow tie shoved down its throats and fell on its side dead.
Boy, that sure looks like Byron Dragway.
As for the driver, it’s not even words in your mind at that moment, just a feeling. A bad, bad feeling.
should have spent less time making stickers…. and more time at driving school?
Oh oh Gotta call Macco.
Well shit….. This is going to hurt… a lot….
Should have stayed in bed today.
This is gonna cost me…
Did you hear something??
Must be really windy out. those trees are bent way over.
Upon closer inspection, this asphalt does look odd.
This is what I get for putting Chevy junk in my car…
Definitely Byron Dragway, wheelstand event about 5 years ago. I seem to recall he got to see the track through both sides of the car.
Glad I sprung for the door edge guards.
Stock Suspension!! – SEE !!!!!!!
It is at Byron, during the wheelstand contest 5ish years ago. He might have won the “most violent” award that day. There is/was a video from inside the car, too.
Trying to save it is about it ! Not going to happen here…
Y’know, they were right. Those new shocks and radials really did smooth out the ride. It’s like riding on air….
‘I hope Bruab says something nice about me”
Hold my beer. Watch this!!!!!

If he lands badly the last thing going through his mind might be his asshole…
