That guy just need to calm down and use some throttle control. I know you have your good and bad days, but that was just horrible. Oh yeah, he really showed them when he did those donuts, thats how you really handle a car.

EDIT---just finish watching the vid. He just suck ass.

The way the guy is jerking the steering wheel is rediculous. Auto-x is all about controlled motion and predicting how the car will handle the next turn at a given speed and knowing how wide/narrow to take it. That guy obviously has no clue what the capabilities of his car are, and that's the first key to success in auto-x.

Of course, all of you knew that already. I felt the need to vent because of dumb people.

I dunno, his steering input was pretty smooth, and maybe even too slow at times. the main problem is just not knowing WHAT input ot the give the car. Its more like he has way too much power for his lead foot, and he NEVER knows what the car's going to do until it after it happen

oh well, it's not like I know how to drive - it looks like this is just a mistake real anyways - he still looks alot more experienced than me (or maybe its just the racing seat ;) ), but I honestly think maybe he does lack some talent - Pretty funny no matter way

dear lord.....it was pissing me off watching him run. i hate being at the autox and you have to pick up ONE MILLION cones per run with tools like this. wait on them to get back to the track...and have re runs for the people that are on the coarse at the same time!!! VERY ANNOYING!!

this guys needs a lesson in throttle control and how to set up on curves...ESPECIALLY slaloms! :tard:

Thats the best vid I've seen in a while. Did he actually have some sort of data aquisition running during one of those?

I've been to the auto-x three or four times and I have only knocked over about 12 cones total. I may not have been the fastest driver there but I learned my car's limits. This guy definately had no idea that throttle control is.

HAHA The fool! He forgot that he had the "realistic tires" option turned on!

Baby needs his training wheels back. Mabey they should have pulled 4 of the plug wires off the distriubtor and see if he could make it around the track without screwing up. My guess is that he probably still would have found a way to throw the car off the track.

I thought he looked like he was in perfect control. You just can't contain the mighty 302. :bubbrubb:

Wasn't exactly paying attention. All that extra torque really helped him "move" around the course. :rolleyes:

Yeah... Isn't that basically the first thing you learn when you get a RWD car is how to break the tires loose in the sharp turn?

I cringed every time I saw him stab the throttle in the middle of a turn knowing I was about to see where he just was in the windshield.

The guy needs 10 hours in a parking lot doing circles.... :emo:

Guy REALLY needs to learn some throttle control.

That and he needs to clutch waaay faster...keeps stalling the thing every time he spins.

Driver error more than car issues.
