If he had a bigger flame job on the side of the car, he would probably do better.

I hope that wasn't an autocross course- it looked too tight for one, assuming that clown car Prelude was following the pylons. Most autocrosses are also laid out as far from curbs, bushes and trees as possible- usually hundreds of feet. And yes, that Prelude's body panels are rubbing; I would think the SCCA would wave off a car that scrapes the course like that.

The Prelude video looks more like it is a driver clowning around in a motor vehicle department/driving license test area to me. Regardless, Prelude driver looks silly.

I love how the rear brakes kept locking. That was nice.

Ghetto version, but hey it takes some skill to do that in such a small confined space, with parking lot curbs & not crash. I'd like to see any of us do better.

With our long ass cars, some of us would probably look worse than that shitty Prelude.

I'm confused. The wing looks plenty big enough and he had the right amount of stickers. I don't undestand why it sucked so bad around the course
