I did the whole trying to do donuts with TC on thing with my old Mustang.

But I have a better story.

At a packed Test & Tune at VMP I was next in line to make a run. Since I was on street tires I drove around the waterbox and lined the car up for my dry-hop to clean the tires, but there was a delay with the car infront, so I waited there in the right lane.

Finally, the cars ahead ran and I was cleared to do my burnout. I rev the engine and pop the clutch to briefly spin the tires only to hurl off to the right and almost into the wall. I stopped the car and stalled it about 1 foot from the wall.

While I was waiting for the cars ahead to go I forgot to straighten the wheel out before the burnout.

Pretty embarassing because there were a good 500 people in the stands for the first T&T of the season. :O
