Stop your whining. Pivot cones are easy unless you have a big Corvette with massive tires that rub your fender wells and limit your ability to turn. Jennifer can actually do them quite well. We did about 80 in a weekend at the last ProSolo extreme school. The whole idea of AutoX is to be able to adjust your driving to solve new challenges. We’ve had a lot of courses this year that cater to high horse power and/or high grip. A little change up keeps it fun. :soap:

Hell no, it's easy to pivot in the vette.....initiate braking, turn in, peg throttle and dump, rotate 120 degrees instantly, catch and be on your merry way :).

Nope, Ram and I do. You are UP on power like Jeremy :). Hell, Andrew is up on power compared to Ram's car probably :).

That was fun. Big thanks to James and Ram for making a fast technical course and to everyone who made it happen.

Here is my fastest run.

that was good. the turn around was certainly challenging with a heavy car.. however..i was able to lift off and make the car rotate well.(trying it in second let me some speed) this was the first time on non mud tires .. and making the car go all out, learned alot.. the front half of the course was fast as all get out. the back half took some learning but was good too, the sweeper ate my tires.. but again that is what they are for... so no worries there, very cheap set.most of the time my car is played with in dirt, however i can still hang on asphalt too.. more to come maybe next season, now that i have good wheels to put tires on. no promises yet though.
