Decent driver

[Freebird]

This was sent to me by Dano by email. Looks like a lot of fun but this guy can certainly drive.

One quick way to wear off four perfectly good tires, my father would say.

I say, that's pretty decent,,,, looks like fun,,, gonna need some practice though, before I can get my Saab to do that! although it might do it on it's own?????

Did you notice that all spins are in same direction looks like he pulls the hand lever to lock one wheel to start spin

[Bigfoot]

0-60 in 1.9 seconds. Wow. He is definitely good. Did you notice that he did hit the wall near the start of the video. His right rear corner made contact.

My older Saab might be able to handle that Carl. Don't think the newer one handles as good.

 

With a Driver!!

 

And a new set of tires!!

[stroker ace]

My WRX wagon can do that but really hard on tires ( That's why I have two sets one for daily driving and one to play with ). Usually the hand brake locks both rear to get the car to turn. He is a great driver but he didn't do to well in the WRC series kept sliding off the course.

Should have titled this the Flight of the Bumblebee!! Great!

[rickardracing]

That was truely awesome!

Ken Block is a great Driver. Period ...

 

 

But ....

 

when i was out Drag Racing in October, i met the Event Host which is a vivid Drifter and Racer too. I asked him about the Vid and what he thinks about it.

 

 

He said, Ken Block is really doing a great Job in promoting the Drift Sport and Gymkhana, but, if he's honest, if he has gotten the same Amount of Track Time there and also free Tire and Car Repairs, he could have done a better Job. As i know him, i'd willing to believe him. I've seen some of his Race Footage and if one has the Guts to willingly lock the rear Wheels at 180 mph in a steep banked Turn, he's my Hero anyday. If you look at the Ken Block Gymkahna Vid on Youtube you'll see that the Vid is cut togehter from several Runs he made. In one Scene, you'll see and hear the Car hitting the the Gate hard with the left Side of the Car, but is completely undamaged in the Scene afterwards...

 

Don't get me wrong, Ken Block is a good Driver and i respect him, but his Apperance in the WRC left a Lot to desire. It's one Thing to race around and throw the Car controlled from one to another Direction, but it's sure another Thing to race at a World Championship Rallye Track. There's not much Room for Error left.

From that shot of the brake rotors towards the end..........I think they are going to need to be replaced. :crackup:

[Redneck]

Thats pretty slick. I wouldn't mind playing with that go cart for a while.

[Mariner Fan]

Impressive!!

[Yammer Dan]

Saturday night after leaving the Bar on West Virginia backroads!!

[Evan]

amazing video!

[Pegasus1300]

Wow that is some driving.

[Greener]

In a word, WOW!!!

[Ottawa]

Excellent control of a vehicle!!!

Lets face it most of us would say yes to giving it a try. I would probably do a bit more damage then he did. What I an saying is that I would be the last person to drive it!!

 

What I like the best is that he did it on a track where such driving belongs. When will the speed demons and crotch racketeers get it in there heads.

 

hmmmm I wonder what I can do with my 85 on such a track!!!

 

Maybe I should wait for the CD on turning first.

[Yammer Dan]

hmmmm I wonder what I can do with my 85 on such a track!!!
