Yes, you've posted it here a few times.

Stupidity in action for both the driver and the spectators.

That's funny Jim, your right! He says "Might have been posted before". I checked and he's posted that same video here at least 10 times.

I value my car and I guess I may go overboard with the care and treatment I give it. Watching that guy beat that nice car makes me cringe. If I wanted to drift I can think of a lot of cars to use besides a C6.

I disagree with the "stupidity in action"...they are putting on a show and he is a skilled driver for sure... but the spectators are def in trouble if misjudges one of the high speed spins...

I was hoping that the motorcycle would pop a wheelie on to the hood and launch using the windshield as a ramp.....ha! now that would be some real showmanship.

at the end of the clip it looks like the car is taking a crap from all of the wads of rubber piled up on the rear valance......

No Jim is correct. It does not matter how skilled the driver appears to be it only takes a small misjudgement and you have a major issue. The driver should not have agreed to perform that close to the spectators.

I was only adding to the point that the driver should never even started to event with the spectators that close. We all agree that the driver is skilled and that the spectators are to close, and a slight misjudgement could end up with some serious injuries. But again, the driver should have never started the show.

I would have no problem being a spectator at an event like that. Probably safer at the show then on the roads used to get there.

Maybe you are right. The atmosphere seemed to be safe.
