<br />Drag racing is dangerous business. You've all seen the horrific crashes that result from even the smallest of problems, and more than a few straight-line pilots have met their death as a result. Now, imagine a J-shaped drag strip full of surface changes and no center wall. Sound improbable? Well, we have video proof that such a place exists; reportedly in the Caribbean.<br /><br />What you're about to see (should you choose to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/23/video-worst-drag-strip-ever/">follow the jump</a>) is the worst, most ridiculous "drag strip" we've ever seen. The video stars a well-worn but rather quick looking Ford Mustang surrounded by throngs of too-close to the action on-lookers. Our first thought was that the track didn't look <em>that</em> bad, until the camera panned left and it looked like your basic Detroit-area blacktop. The 'Stang gets up to speed, deploys its parachute, and then the Fox-body pony car does its best Chevy Chase impression. It ends, predictably, with a Mustang taking a nasty tumble. Why the hell would anybody even walk on that surface?
