Cool The Mule in the corkscrew *warning - huge pics*

Here are some killer photographs taken of the Mule at Laguna Seca today. Nothing like seeing the most famous g-machine of all time take one of the most famous corners in the world.

Looks like a Blast!

I'd like to know how much weight is on the right front tire in those turns. Not much I'd bet.

It can't be. The photos must be fake. The Mule has a four link which is subject to the dreaded "Roll Bind". Surely the car would suddenly flip over and barrel roll eighteen times in the corkscrew? And that car has a C4 clip which everyone knows is one less better than a C5 clip and TWO less betterer than a C6 clip.

Oh, and it's a proven fact that the Mule NEVER sees track time.

Very cool! There must be some serious G-forces at play in the corkscrew
