craz azn didn't see much of the coarse but your form looks great!

I think inducing over steer with lift in tighter slower areas of a course could be beneficial, like in the beginning of the course on my most recent video. There is a quick s2000 guy, A-stock national champ, who's car was rotating nicely in that area. I believe he inducing it with lift. I'd like to master that technique.

As for the technique it's mainly just a lift and a mild toss in, and try to get the car settled in a nice mild slide before you roll on the throttle again. Will depend on the car but it's what seemed like the fastest (and most fun) way around a corner like this.paint sucks

Both gopros ran out of batteries after our second runs in the e30 :( that would have been faster had the slide been a bit better controlled, it just took a run or two to get it down :) bet it was fun watching us fly through that section though, lol.

Pro solo runs from each course,M52 E30 so ran in SSM with 225 ZII's and right off the street so no chance.Ended up sending a well driven(trophied at the nats the weekend before this event) Z06 home in the best 2 of 3 eliminations so that showed promise.
Only event I've run the car,last one as well.SSM Miata build underway.
Anyways have a look,I know I need to slow my hands down.:oops:

On another note, I haven't done any Pro Solo events, but that's a strange course setup. I'm sure that the space restrictions dictate the design, but it looks like there are only a couple different elements in the entire course.88 325is - S52 powered

Yes weird pro solo layout,it was a laid back event geared more towards fun hence the simplistic course aimed at the large amount of newbies.Also getting thru 2 runs each side for qualifying and then best 2 out of 3 elimation rounds meant short courses with minimal conage.The right course had some heavy frost heaves and generated some interesting chassis movements.
Btw in my defence its my 1st autox in a production car in a long time,2 yrs in an Amod and a couple events in an F500 early in the season than a long break nearly 4 months no driving at all...I was damn rusty!.Last edited by L8 apexr; 03-11-2014, 06:16 PM.
