Good Vid and I agree with you it does sound like rocks on the exhaust pipes.

Never had the pleasure....but spun a C4 once and smacked a K- rail....twice.....WHAM.!!!......Bam.!!!! .....and tire smoke was everywhere...
Looped my 78 in an Auto-X several years ago....corner flag guy did not see coolant on track from car ahead of me....I hit that high speed chicaine and lost it at second cone....
It's a real learning experience when you spin these Vettes...

that guy is a safety hazard. The vid says it all. He's posted some stuff on the road race section before and got shamed off.

If you're gonna go that fast on the highway at least slow down when passing somebody. It looked like he easily passed that suv at 140+. Still hasn't learned.
