Video: Fox Body Head Gasket Fail at the Track

There’s nothing worse than you’re car breaking down, especially when you’re out and about and have things to do. What could possibly be worse? How about stuck at the drag strip when your car breaks down? The light is about to turn green, and boom goes the head gasket.

This guy was ready for a fun-filled night at the races with his Fox Body 5.0, anxiously waiting to race as other cars pull up ready to roll. It looks like an exciting night at Gateway Motorsports Park with cars revving, people watching, and a lot of good racing going on. When it’s time for this unlucky racer to show everyone what he’s got, the track officials stop the Mustang dead in its tracks.

The driver seems to struggle a little as he gets the car into drive and reverse and then proceeds to do his burnout to warm up the tires. As he finishes up and pulls up to the starting line, smoke pours out of the exhaust and he rolls his window down to express the technical difficulty that he is experiencing.

Unfortunately, this race wasn’t meant to be and as fun as it would have been to watch, it looks as if the Fox may have seen the last of the races for tonight, or for at least awhile.
