Streetkahna – Autocross NSRA Style

The Streetkhana is a test of driver skill and ability to maneuver a course of cones in the shortest time possible. This course at the National consists of a combination of slaloms, a couple of tight hairpins, a couple of switchbacks, a sweeper, and some speed-grabbing straights. Here’s some of the action on the track.
