The 5 oddly sized donuts were just to have fun with and I'm pretty sure they blew out the diffs.
We really just wanted to have fun and do something that people can watch and enjoy. We did our best to film the shots in closed locations with permission from the county and property owners. If you watch both videos (KB Gymkhana 1 and Sarasin Gymkhana Spoof), you will see for the first 4 minutes, each scene was replicated to the best of our abilities. Living with Kyle, we had a lot of down time between races and after the season in Florida. It was not shot in illegal manner and Kyle was not involved in driving the car in that manner on the road. We really just wanted to have fun in our favorite and most familiar form of car without it breaking the bank of a bunch of college students. Kyle is the most mature form of a driver I have seen in the sport and personally I think the most talented on this continent but again, we're just college students and the kid can't even drink the champagne legally on the countless podiums he sprayed in the past 3 years.
A lot of things (which you will see in the "making of" video) hit the editing room floor. We actually convinced a go-kart track owner to let us on the track after-hours which destroyed all the spares but provided some quality entertainment.
I'm glad the majority of you guys enjoyed it. I haven't had that much fun in a stock powered subaru since we were 16 in Kyle's WRX.
Huge props to KB for giving us something to get us motivated, but for the record, we filmed the paintball scene and explosives in 11/2008. (We should hold a gymkhana-off)
Thanks for watching guys and keep the hype going about Kyle so we can actually see him in the WRC next year

All shots were filmed in the northern/central florida area in private locations and all vehicles and persons seen were part of the "INTMO" car club we are a part of.
Good to see Kyle behind the wheel again though! Sad this year we aren't able to watch him make a run for the championship though....
Thanks again and best regards,
