Let me put it this way: In any event around here, any two of those spins and you would be done for the day. Same goes for taking out that many cones in the decel zone at the end of the run, only most people would have the common courtesy to not show up until people forget who you are. As for the frolicking in the trees, you'd be done for the season or banned from the sport.

While He should be put on vacation from the autoX stuff, It sounds like the rules/people here are a little too strict. A spin by accident is just that, even if it does happen twice. I am not excusing his powerspin/burnout moves and forest diving though.

It depends on the site really. I dont know for sure what the penalties are but they make it very clear that if you fuck up and continue to fuck up, you're gone. Autocrosses tend to be loud and inconvenient for any residential or business areas nearby. A lot of people complain about various aspects of the sport and will try very hard to get certain sites shut down. If you drive like a moron you could hit something. If you hit something, the clubs insurance goes through the roof and the site owners probably wont want to host any more of your events. The local group has some decent sites, but also some pretty poor ones just because there isnt anything better available. Their biggest fear is losing the few they have left because some jackass cant drive within his limit.

I think it is funny how he has a radar detector in the car. If he tried to run from the police he would probably spin out.

I understand if you spin out and it was an accident, however this person was getting angry and trying to run harder like he has something to prove. You know you are going way too fast if you run off the pavement into a tree.

He needs a nice low powered honda and then he can take that course. What a tard, I literally laughed everytime he "pushed it."

"Fuuuuuck." "Off road machine right there." And the official stopping him to take out the cone from the front end. Lol. I'm sure the EPA is down his throat for killing so much habitat.
