You guy need to stop teasing Sid about driving skill before you have to eat those words. One of these days you could blowup an engine or have your rear-end fall out. I don't thing you could recover in a 5 mile race...maybe a 10 mile but not 5.
You could also see him drive of the road abruptly. When you go back to see if he is all right you would pass right by him as he sat real still pretending to be a dirt pile.
