Gymkhana (jim-kah-nuh) is an automotive sport that takes place on an open field ord parking lot and requires drivers to skillfully maneuver their cars around a series of cones, slaloms, 180 degree turns, 360 degree turns, figure eight turns or other obstacles using extreme acceleration, braking, and drifting.

Similar to ‘autocross’, Gymkhana courses are often very complex and memorizing the course is a significant part of achieving a fast time.

The southern California native has excelled in skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross and, in the last few years, rally racing.
