That looks pretty fun. Do you just go to any empty parking lot or what? I'm sure you'd have to have permission first, right? Or is this some event that you have to pay to do?

I kicked ass this weekend in it. Much faster than my EM. Heck it's the 1st time in several months that I got 5th in PAX Came within .5 seconds of a National STS champion driving the same car.

from what I saw, it seems like he might have hit a wet patch or a patch of black ice?

They work In the summer time my hands get a little sweaty. On a leather steering wheel or any steering wheel in general I have lost my grip on my steering wheel=BAD!

So I know alot of guys spending $60-100 on Sparco gloves, and I spend $15 on my Mechanix gloves
