Mustang drift car

NOT to be confused with Billy-Bob Smith, a.k.a. "Hambone" who will be fielding his specially modified 1975 F-150 crew-cab, complete with mudflaps to prevent loose rubber marbles from going into the crowd, and the gunrack in the rear window that now accomodates a mounted 5-foot level to assist in drifting accross inclined raceways.
I get my fill of drifting about 5 minutes into the show.
