I hear you about easy throttle application! Which is of course is easier said than done! "Seat time" is the only way. Traction was my main problem today, and it's happened before. Yokohama Auto cross A032R's seem to really "go away" if they get to hot. Where as the Hoosier full race tires seem to get BETTER! I actually had a better time than him in the second heat, my 85 secs to his 86 sec lap. A long delay before heat #3 and the track was hotter than a pistol by the time we ran. His times DROPPED and mine went UP!

I got to better handling (sway bar mods will help?) and HAVE to get full race tires. The DOT race tires just don't cut it anymore. And to think I started doing SCCA on Goodrich T/A's. WHAT was I thinking!!!! Ha ha!

Truly slalom is "fineese" and "control", big HP is NOT the easy solution.
