Im just impressed that he made such a decent race car out of an old X1/9, but the big Suzuki sticker on the back leads me to believe he at least dumped the terrible Fiat motor

Fiat X1/9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Real POS

The way it rev's and given the sticker, I've betting it's got a Gixxer engine

The car looks like it set up nicely and he can definately drive. But what's up with all those slalom sections? They totally break up the rhythm of the road.

I'm guessing they were slowing down the course... didn't want guys going 130MPH on a road like that

i agree, that road is sketch if you jumped the rail you would be up ****s creek. the guard rail is super dented on some of the slalom sections, one section has a hay bail on the exit

that was insanely awesome.

I think that thing was sliding for 80% of its run. That was too cool to watch
