These are good fun. I plan to watch the event held in Monroe, WA this summer. The skills are incredible, and the field of cars is varied.
An absurdity: fans walking around with used-up tires on their shoulders from their favorite drivers.

A Scion tC won 3rd place? How does a FWD car get 3rd place?
