You're not kiddin'. That is some talented driving. Think I'm gonna see how my '62 Plymouth would handle that

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 ...

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:





and here is one of the 79 Cheverra I drove this year at the SCCA Solo Nationals:

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!
