The tires are still on the car- all 4

Thanks for all these pics Timco- I now see that the rear section is bolted onto the passenger section. The bolts must have sheared off due to high lateral loads.

Frodo- the car stopped on the straight but the skid probably started mid way through the curve- a long lurid drift that wasn't caught in time. The inertia of the rear mass took control with the car spinning slowly about it's center axis while scrubbing very little speed off in the process.
