ANYBODY EVER SUCCESSFULLY PERFORM A BOOTLEG TURN?

[Passions]

How much do those advanced driving courses cost? Sounds like a good idea to take.

I have done this maneuver on dry pavement in my Carpice 9C1 and BMW 735i. Not really that difficult, but requires extreme skill. Much too easy to roll a car doing this. I got a car on two weels once doing this and nearly killed myself.

As for the pro driving schools, look for spending $1500 to $3000+ depending on the program and cars involved.

Whoa, that's a nice chunk of change... Nut- you performed w/ a 7-series Bimmer? Why?! It's a luxury sedan 🙁

<< My favorite trick was making 'fish hooks'. Run the TransAm in reverse, pick up some speed, lay off the gas and hit neutral, throw it in drive, drop the pedal to the floor. The tires burnout while the car travels backwards, eventually, the car reverses direction and travels forward, still spinning the tires. If you throw the steering wheel into it a bit, you'll get the rear end to hang out and create the 'fish hook' effect. >>



I owe you a major pat on the back for explaining how those were done. I used to see those everywhere a few (25) years back when I went to work with my Dad around new construction sites. Dont see them much anymore, maybe its a lost art form.

Mr. T, I was looking at a place in FL a while ago. They trained you on Neon ACRs and moved you up to (ready for this!?) Vipers!! $3000 for the program though 🙁
