Notice how the rollbar just punches through the floorpan. Driver walked away, luckily.

That must have been some cheaply installed cage. Doesn't look like it was even tied into the subframes at all.

Yup. Didn't install the floor plates correctly.

This happened at Hallett, a track near Tulsa. That cage was supposedly a bolt-in show-only type.

Was that car set up for drift or road racing?

"road racing"

It was mostly for show, as far as I can tell. If you're interested, here is more info: LINK (http://www.mustang50magazine.com/featuredvehicles/m5lp_0912_2010_mustang_gt_car_fx/index.html). I have not read it thoroughly.
