He is lucky that the car was low enough that it beached itself on him.. Immagine if the rear wheels got to him at those revs.

No doubt inspired by the burnout antics of one Valentino Rossi.

Please - for clarification - that wasn't an autocross - it was a "drift competition," as others have pointed out.

Typically, we autocrossers DON'T step out of our cars while on the course. We also don't do smokey burnouts and exhibit slip anlges of that magnitude.

Just want to clarify.

-Z.

PS: He was indeed a moron pulling that stunt.

Agreed, that was definitely not an auto-X. Maybe it was the half-time show at an auto-X, ie. Bozo the drifter and his psycho Ford Fairmont.
