Another ADMAS Nominee

Now and then, another nominee for the Academy of Dragon Motion Arts & Sciences comes up: a car Pilote or others would least like to use for Dragon passes.  Here's one.  In 1963, Ford shipped two Galaxies with the 7-liter NASCAR engine to England.  They ran in the British Touring Car Championship.  When they set sail down a long straight (which most British courses lacked), they were uncatchable--until the next corner.  More often, they ran out of brakes before the races were over, and functioned as mobile chicane.  The white car, driven by Jack Sears, had some successes in the BTCC.

ADMAS nominations are always open.  To qualify, a car should have some pretense to performance or agility, and be offered for sale to the general public.  The Ford Galaxy barely makes the cut, because it was offered for sale with the big block engine and 4-on-the-floor, although the car in the pictures had a racing unit.  The nominees so far:

1) The Fiat-Abarth 750/850
2) The '69 Mustang Boss 302
3) Any Crosley
4) The '62-'66 Ford Galaxy 390/406/427

Either the right bank just let go or this is "normal" brake smoke  ;-).

Trying the outside on a Lotus Cortina and a Mini entering Paddock Hill Bend at Brands Hatch.  Optimism!
