Yeah my first time out i think i was being too aggressive and was definitely spinning. Last time out I was a bit gentler with the launch (i.e. not spinning) and chopped 3 seconds off my previous best. Tomorrow I'm going to use those tips as i have noticed that on this particular track my slip light comes on at 60 or so when i change into third. I honestly think the track is slick as **** but according to others there is plenty of traction. All i think is compared to what? Ice?
