Not to defend the guy, but you do realize there are plenty of knocked over cones on courses to denote direction and "loading/parking" areas, right?

Sorry, never saw the emoticon when replying... I'm so used to the smileys on forums these days the original emoticons kind of slip my view.


Lou, A virtual beer for you, my good man... sounds like you may need it.

Lol - I'm old school. I turn off the slick smilies on the forums that let you do that or use ones that don't translate to an icon....

As for the rear end on this car being a ball bearing I figured it was the opposite. Of course if you keep the wheels spining its gonna keep coming around - don't know of any car that doesn't. I found the car really hooks up quickly when you get off the throttle.... kinds the opposite of a ball bearing....

Yeah...My experience is you really have to work hard to get this car to break loose. What with the 140 treadwear tires, LSD etc it sticks very well...
The only car to really lose it in our Aqua-X last weekend was an AWD Audi.... (and NO, I didn't knock down all those cones..:-))

Maybe I'm just too hard on the throttle w/ cornering trying to get it to get loose. It takes a lot to get it loose IMO, and once it gets loose, it's "very" loose - I mean, it doesn't re-grab as well as I expect.

Either way, I'm not going to bother trying to figure it out...
