Goodwood was like last weekend and it is yet another year that I have personally failed to attend the event. I’m not kidding when I tell you that I am bummed having not made it there (again). Someday I will go and take this whole thing in because I truly believe it is one of the coolest automotive events in the world. From the people that are there to the cars (and in this case trucks) attacking the famed hill, there’s a million different things to love about the whole deal. This video allows us to watch Mike Skinner attack the Goodwood hill like a madman and damn it is cool.
Sometimes I love watching the old antique stuff running a full song, sometimes I like seeing the modern supercars doing their thing but I really, really love the full-blown race cars and their racing iron getting tuned up and dropping the hammer on the twisty, winding, narrow road. Few people have gotten the crowd’s attention like NASCAR racer Mike Skinner. He’s made some memorable trips up the hill and 2017 was no different.
The scream of the engine, the slammed look of the truck, the in-car clips that show just how mentally fast Skinner was going during his trip, all add up to major league win.
Goodwood has escaped me so far but it won’t get away for long. I gotta see this stuff in person!
Agreed, Goodwood should be on every gearhead’s bucket list.
Skinner was driving the shit out of it!!!
That was awesome! He drove the wheels off of that truck.
Skiinnnnnnnnnnneeerr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because racecars do have pickup beds, gun racks and are driven by a guy with the nickname, GUNSLINGER!!!!!!
