This year's Rally New York tarmac stages ran through many local streets. The organization of the event and safety precautions taken were truly impressive. Despite that, there were a number of mishaps like the one pictured here. The zero car, during an approached to a set of chicanes locked brakes and "took" a mailbox.

I asked one of the organizers about how many mailboxes were "taken". His answer was: "I was up and down the course multiple times putting up - taking down - (and repeat) the tape and saw scant damage. There was one mailbox knocked down just as the course rose from the (Neversink) river. I told the nice man there that he should contact rally HQ to to reimbursed - but he said that he found out it was a (fellow) Irishman who knocked it down so all was forgiven.He also wanted the tape we pulled from his driveway as a souvenir. He said he wanted to make a tie (no, really)".

Brakes locked:
