Now that's a nice looking concept car. CGI picture?

It was actually real. The 1970 Ford Mustang Milano concept car.

I always wondered.   What exactly happens when you hit one of those half buried tires?

I am guessing bad things.   You can guess which track is shown below.  I know at least one person here is very familiar (yes, those are TransAm cars).

Remember, they were worn out tires when they were installed ten years before a Trans-Am, and twenty before this photo. You could push them around easily, those that were left, I don't think any got replaced after the pros left.

Man they should build the car in the photo now. Would make a nice looking retromod. All LED lighting. Aluminum body. AWD electric. Oh but wait. It is not a 4 door, it is not a truck. And it is not a SUV.  So scratch that off the list.....  :0P

I saw some races at this track in Iowa a few years ago, no outside guardrail beyond the front stretch, just corn. Couple of drivers went off between 1 and 2, through the dirt, and rejoined on back straight
