Umm, oops.

Understeer

Way cool. What was the next act?
BTW, bitchin graphics & fart pipe.

Doesn't look like a SCCA event, better not have been. Starter's sitting in a chair, course ran next to a curb someone has some splaning to do.

Don't make fun of Howard.

He has never done this before........... Ok... Only once before..........

now thats funny. mash gas then mash brakes then crash yer ricer.
skipping preformance driving class to spend money on graffics decals priceless.

Those two people must of got a good scare on that one.

Man on kids trike says : "that's dumb..... & vewy spooopid"!
(Man on trike falls over)

Wonder if my camera was under his gas pedal? (inside joke, eh JP?)

...b

dam was that his first time in the car?

Looks like he tried to brake like it was a video game. Ya know how they let ya brake while cornering

Didn't look like he even touched the brakes til he began to corner.

Oh yeah and sure was designed bad

The two people walking along behind the barricade acted like it was no big deal, they just kept on walking, sure was strange.

Trying to do some drifting maybe.

That kind of stuff is why we used to have beginner days when the season started. Just like a DE event where students could ride with instructors and then swap places. Really helps to prevent stuff like this - that stunt may have lost a lot of potential auto-xer's from every trying.
We had some knuckle head take out our timing lights with a customers car (a Skyline shipped in from Japan for a prototype clutch) made a nice deep dent in the rocker panel. I got a ride in that car - it was stupid fast off the line, it was actually hard to keep my feet down on the floor when the clutch was engaged under lots of boost.

autocross? autocross? I thought this was a drag strip

cold street tires and lots of boost do that!!! thats like driving Blairs old Turbo2 RX7!!!

We had a guy crash into a Jersey Barrier last season
at an SCCA event....not funny as there was a guy in between the 2....the fella that was struck escaped with a few broken bones. I didn't get a good look at the crash as I was busy picking up cones that the jerk driving had left strewn in his path. It looked to me like a classic case of too much car (an Evo thingy) & not enuff talent/common sense.....
Unfortunately, the Evo guy got past the first corner and there wasn't a tree to slow him down.

After watching/listening to that vid, the guy gets off the gas (the fart pipe is good for something) then right back on for a squirt. Me thinks he took a stab and got the wrong pedal.
He got the right one the second time Not much evidence of ABS, eh?

I love the way the trash can is fliped and truns itself into a jack stand.

Has to be a drift event. If you watch the video, the other car on the course is an S13 240SX with mismatched rims (pretty much the ultimate drift fanboy car), and you can hear tires screeching pretty much the whole time.

When the 350Z got on and off the pedal really quickly he was probably trying to get the back end to rotate.

Stupid drifters.

Could be, but timing lights at a drifting event? I thought them things were judged on "style"....
Either way, the guy screwed the pooch.

Ya, and he had the brakes locked and the steering locked left... like it was sposed to turn like that??? oh ya, U bet'cha

My understanding is that it was a recent drift event in SD...

Correct. Qualcomm. That is what the 350Z guys are saying too.

now if all the rest would simply follow suit and maybe, just maybe drifting would die That is possibly the best drifting footage ever! I give him a 10 for "style". Now he has a story for all of his friends Fortunately he had that huge wing on the back and some carbon fiber pieces to help with his performance.
