Staging Lane Pileup at NMRA/NCMA Superbowl - Hot Rod Network
"Ouch — these photos of a staging lanes crash from the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl are hard to look at! Allegedly the mechanical throttle linkage of the Watson Racing S550 Mustang hung up...." Then, as certain as gravity and math, the Mustang did what Mustangs are supposed to do...

Actually, a tip of my hat to Ford for making this right and giving the guy a new car, since he was on a track and had modified the car. I doubt many car makers would do that...

Driving fast on the track is responsible, and it seems like the guy did all the right things, including turning it off, and using 1st to get some braking when nothing else worked. That is presence of mind! Suffering an oil cooler failure and bursting into flames is on the builder of the part. Apparently Ford felt this was on them even with all the other modifications. Pretty darn scary.

From the Bullitt board's 350GTR owning track guy...his car definitely not kept in a hermetically sealed bubble:
"I'd heard about this a while back, that is a track pack car. Easiest way to tell is the rear spoiler, tech pack has a very small rear spoiler whereas the track pack has a larger spoiler. Tech pack cars do not have oil/trans/different coolers resulting in overheating issues on the track. We just ran Roebling and that straightaway is epic. I had my R up to 145ish coming into turn 1, can't imagine that while on fire!"
