Matt Farah gets into one of the largest, clunkiest vehicles -- a Hummer H1 -- and smoothly drifts the behemoth. No, this is not a joke. Yes, tires were sacrificed. So, if you’ve ever wondered what is one of the most ridiculous vehicles to “send it” with (and on a banked 1/4-mile track that is home to figure-8 school bus racing, no less), then look no further than our visit with Mil-Spec Automotive on this episode of MODIFIED.
