About that second video.... In out track there is a lot of skill involved, as trinydex said we hardly do 60mpm in that track, the previous records in our style of Gymkana were done by MR2's and CRX's. There were a few STis with bigger turbos before but there is no way they can hit full boost on that track, a small CRX Si 1.5L was the fastest with 55.2 until last event! 
The silver EVO on that video runs 12.1 on the quarter mile and has 340whp on 93oct and it was slower that the red EVO that was stock. Skills is more impotant than power on that kind of track. We are using the Solo1 rules on that small track, thats why you see a few cars at the same time and sometimes they catch up. Because is not really road race or Solo1, they opted for the name, Gymkana.
Also, the record of 55.0 for that track is for street cars! They did a few laps with a EVO VIII prepared for road racing and it did 51 seconds without never ever seeing the track before!
And the fastest of all time was a Viper GTS that did it in 50 seconds! 
Ohh, also, next month should be the next race on that track and they are doing a EVO vs WRX on that track! That should be interesting!
Ill post the video after the event!

what exactly is the defenition of gymkhana?
i thought is was more like auto-x, racing though cones for fastest time.

Evo's to my mind aren't the most effective tools for it, Sti are better in this aspect because of their greater agility. They do have divisions I think but the quickest cars around these things are probably something really small and rwd with lots of power - the Elise /Exige would be most interesting...

That one the funnest video I seen in a while! I'm loving the way he got air at the end. Are Jumps part of the course? He did it with such conviction that It must have been intentional.

It looks very spectacular, but probably much slower than what can be done. Perhaps it was just for show...
