I've seen this video all over the net today. Me and my kids were blown away. That entire video is just 8AD 4$$!!!

You find the space (and volunteer to man the Segway!), Mike, and we'll do it!

Actually I experience that in my Neon, but it usually happens below 7 mph and it never happens intentionally (lol).

my sentiments exactly. that's cool, but that's not gymkhana, this is gymkhana. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHgjFPhhzY8

Ken actually competed against Taka Aono(former fsp national champ) on a gymkhana course for Sport Compact Car magazine with that car. Wasn't a fair fight though as Taka was in his trusty AE86. Laugh at drifting all you want, but those guys have great car control skills.

Car control?

Above picture was taken at the Labor Day double.

Joel Lipperini had his Mustang out of shape every lap, every time through turn 10 at Summit. That's car control, hanging your balls out through the window going through 10 at Summit sawing at the wheel and breaking the lap record.

Or maybe some in car from Willie Phee's ITA/H4 Integra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SepUk4cgbFU

But, hey whatever floats your boat.

Actually, four wide sideways at Eldora for 100 laps is the most impressive thing I have witnessed in person, whether it be wing sprint cars or dirt late models. Some of you guys would be surprised at the races that take place every weekend of the summer in every corner of the country at dirt tracks.

Agreed, Brian (I've been to William's Grove - and had perfect little parallelagrams of dirt flown into my beer). John Phillips once opined in C/D that one should have to qualify for the A Main at Eldora in order to get an FIA superlicense.

[Hillbilly]

My opinion: they couldn't do it without ALOT of seat time.
