5x5 - Close to Home
November 23, 2009

Their mission: to find their way back to their hotel in our Night Time Navigational Challenge. Finally, our drivers learn the fastest way to turn around as they try to master the perfect Hand Brake J-Turn. One driver avoids the title and returns to public roads.
