Gymkhana

Post by kyle.bowker »

*** At this time CDC has no intention of hosting a gymkhana ***
*** This thread is just for fun / informational purposes only ***

All the Ken Block hype has put the spotlight on the old sport of gymkhana, which was originally invented as a training exercise for Genghis Khan's cavalry.

It is much more technical than even the most complex CDC auto-x at Harry Grove.

Memorization is very important.

How many times do you think the announcer would say "Off course" if we hosted one of these events? LOL

This looks more annoying than anything. Take any flow of a course and just throw it away.
