wow this is really old from Sport Compact Car wuite a few years ago. I would do it but I don't think too many tracks would allow you to run that.

lol.. I somehow doubt it would pass a crash test. There appear to be no crumple zones. Im actually suprised they allowed it on the track given the lack of a roll bar(wouldnt be allowed to do that as your average track goer in this country.

I remember when this came out, or rather the first version. Its been done multiple times before.
