Autocross E-brake turn video

Car show enthusiasts might want to look away.

I'm an autocrosser at heart, and when I bought my 2010 a few months ago, it was because I LOVE the Camaro, not because it was the best autocross car. In fact, people kept telling me that.

But, in the last event, I beat a Z06, and should have beat a GT500, but I hit one more cone than I was allowed to.

Anyways, here's the video from the outside, of a 180 pivot cone turn that I e-brake drifted:



And here's the view of that same run from the top of the car:



Enjoy!

Thanks! May not be faster, but it was certainly more fun doing it my way.

Very cool. I would suck at that brand of racing, I'm sure the cones would confuse me and I'd go off in a direction that I shouldn't. LOL.

Dude, that was GREAT!!!

Very smooth through the whole course, and even though you caught some dirt ( I prefer to call it 'flair' ), no complaints on the pivot.

NICE JOB!!!

Sounds like everyone's worry on their first time, but it's easier than you think, and it gets easier every time. Fun, cheap form of entertainment.

Thanks! I had a better one in a practice round before, but no video.

Here's a series of pics that show how close I got, though:
