A special thanks to Robert and David for putting this on! Awesome guys. I hope I'm invited to the next event. I know of two more that want to come if you have room for them.
All of you guys that decided it was not worth the trouble to go to this event are soooooo unlucky! This was the first time the ALSCCA group has put this event on and they had a lot to offer. The features started off as training tools to get to the autox course. They were a build up so to speak to give you the foundation to take on the full course. However I think the two best featurs were the wet skidpad and the dry figure-8.
One observation, I think everyone should drive the wet skidpad first as it really teaches you how to handel the car in a slide as it magnafies every move you make. Driving 5 to 10 mph is all you can expect but OMG is it a real learning too.
I have a few movies to share. I will bring some with me to Road Atlanta to share on my laptop.
This was a very short feature. The object was to go faster and faster to till you reached your maximum speed. The flag man would flag you to the direction of his choice. I would not want to be this guy. I managed to floor it and never let up until I got the flag and I let up just to make the turn. I ran this one 5 times and had to work up the nerve because I was afraid I'd run over the guy. Quick Lane Change
I think this was Gimlet's first run on the Slalom. The cones were spaced at a decreasing distance. Gimmie lost it about 2 cones from the end but he looked really good to that point. I think he forgot to slow down just a tad. Gimlet on Slalom
Me on the slalom course. Slalom
This was one of the two most fun features. This may look easy but I assure you that if you reached 10 MPH without loosing it you were doing good. The object was to move the back end out about 3/4 way through the turn, counter steer and rotate the car back to make the next turn... sounds easy doesn't it. SURE! Wet Skidpad

I used to actually to pile a bunch of my buddies in my mom's 4WD AMC Eagle wagon and get on the neighborhood ice rink for late nite "Ice Ballet" rides..
