WORST: Marcus Birt Takes Flight
■ A flying, 2,500-horsepower Radial vs. the
World car has become an annual tradition at
Valdosta, and this year it was Marcus Birt’s turn
to take flight. His Musi-powered, Bickel-built
Corvette went into a wheelstand during Q3 and
eventually ended up around 20 feet in the air
before landing hard. Birt walked away without
serious injuries, but it’ll be a while before the
world’s quickest nitrous car is back in action.
