Too bad there was nothing for him to hit. It would have made it even better.

Do you think that he got out of the car thinking: I'm a racer

I'm a racer

He was thinking, "This is my year"

You'd think after the 3rd spin, he'd realize that shifting during cornering is a bad idea....

The very last seconds of the clip his co-driver / instructor asks him if he wants to take a brake. Seems like he took a brake from decent driving right from the start...

What was the purpose of the passenger? If they were an instructor they were damn quiet. If I have an instructor in the car usually I can't get them to shut up :-)

Maybe the driver was the instructor.

For a minute I thought that was a scene out of 'gone in 60 seconds'.. wow!

Son, the shifter isnt the oh **** handle..

Then I thought maybe his car was over heating and that was the reason he drove the inside of most of the folks who he was behind. Just needed a little fresh air is all..

Due to my shorter gearing, I often times need to shift during track out, it's not the end of the world if you do it right.
However, this guy was not only unable to do that right, I dont't think he did anything right... What a joke.
