Trying out for the Dukes of Hazzard? When I lived in California people with a lot of money used to race through the Santa Cruz mountains. There were cut-off roads that were mere shortcuts from one curve to another. I never witnessed the racing but I was told there were large sums of money bet on these races. The drivers would take whatever chances they felt were needed to win including using these rough dirt and rock cut-offs driving their Porches, Ferrari's, etc.

Wonder how many of them fell off the mountain for their efforts?

I have seen evidence of that.

Looks like he's already replaced the drivers door at least once and quite
possibly replaced the hood too! That being the case, looks like we didn't get
to see the real good videos. OH............Hello tree! Gonna need a bumper
on that puppy too..........

Why bother having a "beater" Corvette? If you want to do that kind of driving, buy a Jeep.

Nah, I'm not buying it. How did they tighten down the lug nuts on the two wheels up in the air? The video shows at 0.50 the rear wheel being locked in place while one of the guys is tightening a lug nut. How can that be? You can't lock one of the two rear wheels with the brakes, and certainly the differential isn't going to be able to do that. So I'm calling "fake" on it. At least until someone can explain to me how it would be physically possible to do what they are showing be done in the video.
