Probably 'terrorists in training', learning evasion techniques when they cross in to the USA over the Mexican border.

I'm obviously a much better driver than s/he. I could have wrecked that car several times. You could tell s/he was trying, but could not seal the deal.

I think there is no need for rude comments about any other nationalty. As a saudi I found your comments offending.

The kids are talented and instead of having sour grapes about it be a man and admit they are good.

Really? 15 of the 19 hijackers that flew our airplanes in to the WTC were Saudi's. I find that offensive.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but thats the way it is. This should be in off topic.

Kinda did something similar to that once in H.S. with a buddy's junk chevette. Trick is to get it over 50 crank the wheel hard and lock the brakes up. Then as you are in a full skid, throw it in reverse hit the gas and let the brakes off. Big difference between a wet hay field and a highway though. That guy had some ba!!s.

Well saudi arabia has a population of 26,417,599, which makes 15 hijackers , 0.00056% of the population . So i still say keep your comments to your self.

15 as*hol*s dont make a whole population terrorists.

Now see, that's how stupid **** gets started. We're way off the mark on this thread. You're right this thread should not be here at all. We should not stereotype around here. Not all Muslims and Arabs are terrorists. Damn uni-bombers, Tim Mcvay, Terry Nichols and DC snipers were not Arabs.

not really skill just a crazy driver testing the limits and beyond. the momentum of the car keeps them moving forward as they spin if he was really skilled he would end up facing the right way on his exit. the people on the side are no better than some people i have seen here crowding roads to watch a drag race.
