that video has NOTHING to do with autox, autocross or gymkhana

It is a drifting video

no way it REMOTELY resembles the skill required to do an actual autocross

I anyone has any interest in what a REAL autocross is, here is some info

FYI, the term gymkhana has not been used for the sport in at least 25 years ...

and yes, I have been involved with the sport for decades

Here is a picture of my car last time it was out (mid 90's I think):

and another taken in the early 70's in a 72 LT-1 Corvette:

Great pictures Jim - not to insult your sport - but I'd much rather beat the crap out of a car like that, then cut a bunch of cones!

[al8apex]
