Extreme Autocross
 

Could you imagine a course like this at your local club autocross?

They call it a Gymkhana, but it looks more like an autocross course to me.

Here's another forum discussion on this, and a like to a magazine article.

That's cool, and the car sounds amazing, but these are better demonstrations of what I believe gymkhana are supposed to be. And, to me, these are much more impressive.

I wish I could pull off that kind of pivot cone maneuver in my Miata... it might not be faster, but it would be fun(until I add up the tire cost:eek:)

That said.. meh. Autocross results shows he's pretty mediocre
