I think they have three judges that rate them after a run.
One of the judges is a big dude One is a former hot pop start and the last is a honest guy in a black t-shirt. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) "...Paula I don't care if his car is cute, he had too much wheel spin leaving the line." |

That is awsome! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
I've seen that type of event on TV before. I think the Brits call it "autotest". The guy I saw was driving a cut down Mini. The thing looked like a short, lowered, front wheel drive jeep. SCCA used to do something similar called a gymkhana, maybe they still do... Looks like a quick way to powder a 901...

Great video, but check out where the course worker is standing.
I wonder how many they lose each year? |

Is the driver following a programed course or is this all freeform?
