I hadn't seen this finish, but the announcers are right, might be one of the best ever.

Re: Insane finish
See....this is how it COULD be in Autocross. All we need is multiple parallel lanes, with LOTS of cars on course simultaneously. ;)Arthur Grant wrote:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=14 ... =2&theater

Re: Insane finish
Then it would be called a race.
Years ago, we had an event @ Dodger stadium. There were two courses, a right and a left. Two runs on each with a combined time, lowest wins. It started with a fairly long (1/8 ? mi.) straight away, so it was a drag race to start.
It was ALOT of fun. My VW pissed off a few corvettes.

WHAT!!?? You mean I'm not a "race" driver? Say it isn't so! I guess I'm just a "auto", "cross" driver.John Ward wrote:Then it would be called a race.

Re: Insane finish
That sounds like alot of fun.....
I`m just getting the car back. The ring and pinion broke, and I had to find one (50 yr old parts are hard to find) finally found one 2500 miles away. After bringing buckets and buckets of money......it`s fixed.
By the way, on the "Race" thing. I cant take credit for that. Rod Bean always said the "Slaloms" were not racing. Racing was when at least 2 cars were on course at the same time. I don`t know about you guys but at most events don`t they run a couple of cars on course?
Going back to the origin of this thread...........That finish is amazballs
