I heard what Dannie told the dude in the Z28 to do on the slalom and I did that and was able to get a 38.7. And I think Chuck left his chair, I brought it wih me

Yea, I was getting on the brakes too much and didn't have enough power coming out of the turns. Last few runs I let the speed carry me into corners and had a little more power coming out of them.

my best was a 37.0. I got that right after lunch. On my last session, my times just kept going up.

Cool Chuck.My after lunch session always my worst, and only tied my first session, to much food...lol I did set the shocks a bit lower to see what would happen and to much rollover. Last session best and shocks where they always are. Tires go to hot last two runs and times went up.

Cool, yeah its about balance. I was practicing on tapping the brakes just hard enough and vary briefly just before the turns when I needed to, and powering out of the turns as you should. Smoother is better

Glad my advice helped on the slalom...try to get all your braking down before you turn, it will help your times...

Got down to a 34.930 on day two, after a 35 something on Saturday. Warmed up the tires, dropped the pressure to 35 and went. Your guys advice definitely helped a lot, especially in the last course feature.

I let my buddy drive it on Sunday and he got a 34.1something with traction control off first try -_- ... so there is lots of room for improvement.

Nice meeting you guys & I'll see you again at Autoclub or Camarillo.
