CDK--

In sifting through the 2003 posts for Basil I ran across this one that I apparently never saw nor replied to back then.

The truthful answer to your question is that I laid both courses out! Notwithstanding, my car is fairly heavily modified--both engine and suspension--and that counts for a lot. I also pushed hard and managed to do a 360 on one run.

For the novice driver, and I am one, I've always been told to increase tire pressure considerably and keep your eye on the cones in front. It helps to walk the course ahead of time also. Good Luck. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

Thanks for the reply. I have not been posting much lately as personal matters have been keeping me busy but I check in everyday. Imagine my surprise to see a post. I thought I had been a victim of idenity theft. Ha Ha I remember seeing your spin captured in a photo spread. It took a little while but thanks again for remembering me.
