You can never turn early enough :)

The Contour really surprised me. Looks like it was set up quite well. Looked like the car was quite tail-happy, for a front driver.

And I have no idea what my times were. Couldn't ever make out the timer. I -think- I got a 36.something as my best time, but even so, it was with nailing at least one cone in the slalom (I seem to be having trouble deciding if I want to turn too late, or too early. Grr.)

Have someone watch, if you're running over the base of the cones with the inside front wheels you're turning too soon if you're running over the base with the inside back wheels that's GREAT, don't change anything just go faster and you'll miss them. If you're actually hitting them with any part of the car you've gotten late.

I was hitting them with the front. I could tell from the sound. I may have actually been going to slow, though, I'm not sure. Need more seat time! :)
