<VV> Corvair Driving Event (Ken Block)

[Jimmy Harris]

I also saw a youtube about that, that said he went through seven (7) sets
of tires doing that one event. BUT he is still a bad a$$ driver. There are 
many videos of him doing other stuff like that on youtube. Jimmy

He still 'crashes' a lot, but thanks to excellent video editing, his 
performances look fairly seamless.
The tell-tale is the number of tire marks already in place on the ground 
during each corner segment.
He's definitely a very talented drifter, but watching the sheer volume of 
practice attempts that weren't
included in the final edit, would probably require an additional hour or 
so......
