Default Re: Cool Gymkana video

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 ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocross

http://www.autocross.com/

http://www.sfrscca.com/solo2/faq/

http://www.na-motorsports.com/Autocross/

http://www.tirerack.com/features/solo2/handbook.htm

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:





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



some of the other cars in the class:
