How *not* to Autocross
 

Feelin' that MUSTANG Love!!

Masscre of the Cones (video)

it seems that he is really trying, but just not 'getting it'.

LOL, any Drift competition :hahano:

Just don't catch him in a straight line!

that sucks big time, went through 3 trees? ouch.

I would pwn him in the twisties.

BBWAWHAHWHAHWHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH

this guys even worse than me!!!

-hS

i love all the "damn its" as if he was suprised he spun out, hit a tree, hit another fence, spun out again, and so on... each time it just got funnier.

the clips seem pretty old. i wonder if the guy is stilld racing

-hS

classic...

That's rich! Someone should have tapped him on the shoulder ... "The object is to make it through WITHOUT hitting the cones!"

damn he's terrible >.< lol

you know... we all make mistakes and even National Level Drivers have incidents.

..but after seeing the video twice and laughing a bit less, this was MULTIPLE RUNS! We boot people if they can't show restrain after several runs.

those cones for that region must all look like my avatar when he's up

Forreal... after he hit the second tree I woulda pulled his ass off the track. The guy is driving way beyond the limits of the car, and OBVIOUSLY way beyond his ability (which there seems to be little of). I pray to god this guy never trys to street race, because no ammount of "Damnit!" will take back running over a pedestrian.
Only thing that could have made that video more enjoyable woulda been an 8 lapping his ass everytime he spun out.
God I wish all the Mustang fanbois catch a glimps of this, just goes to show what one slolam turn can do to all that straight line performance. HP dont mean squat if it sends your sorry ass into trees/barbwire fences! Granted, there is alot to be said for how much this drivers sucks, but anyone pushing that car that hard woulda spun out.

That is a find... Team WTF "The early years" video archive..... That is what those guys drove pre RX8. :rollingla

Wow. That's bad. Here if you go off track 3 times, they kick you out. It doesn't even need to be nearly that bad. Admittedly we don't have trees or fences to deal with either. It's really a safety thing.

Judging by the big uber tach and shift light, the guy is probably a drag racer. It shows. He doesn't know what to do in a corner.

I think he needs to take a brick or two off his accelerator pedal. He probably thinks he needs to get wider tires instead of lessons.

I never autocrossed any of the five 5.0 Mustangs I owned...

:eeps:

That may be true but we know from the video the drivers names is John. :dunno: :hahano:

:rofl:

I love how he gunned it in the corner before hitting the first tree. Fast and the Furious 4: Detroit Drift!

I'm not familiar w/ that Mustang.
Does it have a clutch?
Cause it seems this guy has no idea you can push the clutch in to avoid stalling.

This is the truth

Uhm, look ahead...

Who in the hell is stupid enough to ride with this guy?

WTF is up with running on a golfcart path two feet away from "trees" (those look like bushes to me), and for the hell of it, lets put some chicanes in the path to throw people off.

Instead of all the money this guy spent on video and data acquisition, he should have spent it on an evo class and a set of race tires....

Don't blame his driving on the car...though I am sure that his car is the case of having tons of power and still running the stock, stoneage suspension.

notice how there are no cone workers out on the track when he's driving?

-hS

No kidding. He was like the elephant in the china closet.

Dolt.

how old is that vid last time i did autox with that group i had my fc there and he was running racing tires all around it didnt look like he had problems that day.
