  4. That's the Marine Corp Air Station El Toro. Now decommissioned and waiting to become housing and "The Great Park" and the subject of great debate and controversy. The SCCA holds Solo races there and many car companies rent it for commercials.

    Man, that was impressive, both car and driver. Talk about complete control, and made it all look so easy! That turn around that single pin couldn't have gotten any tighter. My son was diggin' it too! :eek:

    Words escape me when trying to explain how impressive his driving skills are............just....wow
    And now i want a Subaru...

    :D
     
  8. Cool!

    Think that is tough, try doing that with a 3/4 ton chevy loaded with 6 sacks of cattle cubes, a hay bale spike, and the need to make sure that all 37 head of cattle are present----trying to get to your "sure thing, lucky" date on a friday night.

    Oh...yes, you do have to cut and pull the nylon strings out of the round bales too.



    Said in jest for the most part.

    Too bad they never show the damage later.

    It sounds to me like you gys dont watch too much FIA rally. He's a great driver, but there are a bunch of europeans that would hand him his butt. Ya'll should google some rally vids.

    Personally, It's my favorite motorized sport, side ways between trees in the dirt at 120MPH, I dont think it gets any more dangerous...Isle of man tt is a close second though.


    BTW, Stellar vid, thanks for posting it!

    Cheers and beers

    I would love to ride shotgun with that guy at a Corvette car show just to see if the Corvette owners could go around the curves on the bodies of their Vettes that fast with a California car duster to get the dust off of them after he left. Awesome post, what a driver!
