Not My Style of Ride but GREAT DRIVING

It's funny... During college I worked at the GM Desert Proving Grounds and they taught us how to drive but nothing like this!

Reminds me of the " Hurricane Hell Drivers" that used to come to the local county fair in the 1960's. They would drive on two wheels all the way around the 1/3 mile sprint car clay oval.

I wish my Tacoma would do that sometimes in Seattle traffic

 

what is this the old guy thread.

 

No Doubt! - A guy I used to race go-carts with had one that he would go to track days with a V - he thought it was the greatest thing - Me? Even as an OLD GUY - I think they're an old guy car - I'll maintain my delusion that I'm younger than I am!

 

Damn thats some good driving! The 2 wheel driving zig-zag through the guys standing in line was pretty crazy!

 

YES! Butt out would ya?

 

that's some crazy shit! good vid

 

ya next thing you know you will be moving to Florida with all the other oldies.

Another 'old dude'

 

Naaaa, Palm Springs? AZ? Maybe but that Humitiy and lack of mountains would send me to an early death! - My g-mother just passed at 102.5 years - her sister at 97 - they both always told me... continue to make friends that are younger than you 'cause our family has a bad habit of burying our friends!

 

lol. Steve's not too far from old age.

don't worry Paul, you have a young heart!

 

I knew I liked you Tracy! You enable my delusions!

 

I'm surprised Steve haven't responded yet. I have to add that those people in the video are Asian and he said Asian folks can't drive. Lol

 

That's some precision driving right there.

 

is that a caddy team or something? just wondering why they chose caddy's for this

 

Caddy trying to sell Caddys. But I gues Jeep guys probably say... that's a nice truck - I wonder why they didn't buy a Jeep!

 

Thats some talent, I don't care who you are. I wonder if they travel I would love to see that.

 

spectators are asian, drivers are white

 

I used to do that stuff all the time in my '79 sunbird. No biggie

 

GM would teach us precision driving but nothing at that level!

They just wanted to make sure that if 1,2 or 3 drivers were on the test track at the same place, doing a test that they wouldn't blow it because someone slowed down or went out of their driving parameters (speed, deceleration rate, acceleration rate, etc) ... pretty cool when you would see high speed and low speed slice by each other while not blowing their tests!
