Red FD crashed ,leaving BK IN Manassas

Its been a few weeks, but who tossed the red FD leaving the car show at Burger King in Manassas VA ?

From what I saw and heard, it was leaving crossing RT 28 when the guy lost control, over corrected and slammed the barrier. I heard alot of crushing sounds ....


Hope the driver is ok, but wondering what happened ?It sounded like the driver went WOT right in the middle of the turn ...then off to the drift show

Yeah, Sounds real familiar. That's the second FD I heard that crashed due to losing it in a week.

Cuz ppl think you can just romp on the gas pedal and all will be good. Not so. Those front wheels better be 100% straight before you make ANY boost, or you'll be goin sideways, and fast.
