Local TV news showing that blue Stang getting squirrely and almost taking out a man, woman and a couple of kids. You can bet the cops are gonna be on that get-together like a duck on a june bug.

Fantastic C&C - makes me want to move to Tx! Sunshine, palm trees, hot cars, incredible. Got nervous watching them leave as I've seen too many Youtube vids and sure enough, Mustang crash. Anytime I feel the urge to let go, images of those crashes slow me down.

Too many new Vettes. It needs more C1's and C2's.

That mustang crash was hilarious, happened right in front of me. I can't believe he didn't hit anyone. There were a few older Vettes there. Here's a few pics from my phone.

Thanks for sharing pics.

I doubt very, very seriously those dads that scrambled to get their small children (who were likely traumatized) away from the out of control Mustang found anything funny about it. I only hope the DA Mustang drivers insurance company gets a look at the video and denies any claim. If it were me and my kids there, he wouldn't have been smiling for long,

The people dumber than the mustang driver were the ones standing all down the side of the road where dozens of cars are gunning it leaving the parking lot and more than a few got a little squirley. What do you expect? And to have your small children there right next to where the car crashed, wow. I was standing behind where the cars were leaving, seen too many wrecks.

Spectators often stand by the exits to watch vehicles leave from C&C's. They are there to spectate, not to become victims of morons that can't control their behavior/cars. To put blame on them is ridiculous. To support/endorse reckless behavior of idiot drivers is bewildering.

They aren't there to watch them casually leave the event... They are there to watch them rip it, it was a matter of time before someone lost control.

And you found it hilarious? If one of those kids, or anyone for that matter, was hit by an out of control car that would have been their fault? Unbelievable.

This is exactly why it was canceled at The Vintage and will undoubtedly be canceled at Memorial City as well. Too many tools with not enough brains. Too bad really. It is a fantastic gather. Glad no one was hurt and I hope this guy gets to pay for the damage himself.

I think you are missing the point. Take responsibility for yourself and don't put yourself or your children in harms way. It may be the drivers fault and you may be right... but dead right.
