My available power on the a/x track is greatly increased due to the added two cylinders. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
If I romp on the throttle it steers around into a spin. And I carry WAY more speed into the turns, so more braking is required. There are other Bay Area locals who will have to deal with this as well. Randal, Andy, Nathan, Britain and others will put their new power to the pavement for the first time as well in just a little while. Learning to drive again is fun yet frustrating.

That skid pad deal was interesting. I figured that it would be a waste of good rubber, but I was wrong. The car was plowing within a half lap (100 foot radius). More throttle meant more plow.....I couldn't
get the back end around, small lifts didn't do anything. I figured if I tapped the brakes to set the front, maybe that would do it......my foot never got to the brake pedal, tho.....here it comes....unwind quick,counter steer and OTG. WHEEE! Never looped it either (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) If you ever get a chance at a skid pad, go for it. Plenty of time to dick around and see what your car does. |
