Watch this Vietnam War vet school a young soldier in stunt driving
SUMMARY
Bet you think you're a good driver. No one can knife across three lanes of traffic and make an exit doing 73 mph like you can, hoss. You even throw around the occasional courtesy wave.
Former Army Engineer and "Oscar Mike" host Ryan Curtis fancied himself above average in the driving department until he met Jim Wilkey at Bobby Orr Motorsports, where the two-tour Vietnam Vet proceeded to hand our host his ass.
A former Navy Seabee, Wilkey is now one of Hollywood's most highly-regarded stunt drivers, flipping cars and drifting in such modest cinematic offerings as "The Dark Knight" trilogy and "Mad Max: Fury Road."
When he's not rolling on "action," Wilkey teaches the art of stunt driving to amateur road warrior wannabes on his home track in Camarillo, CA.
Watch as Wilkey puts Ryan through a day's worth of paces and Ryan makes an unwise decision to challenge the master in a timed stunt lap, in the video embedded at the top.
