Yeah for the past year or two he has been beating me when he shows up. It's nice to be on par with him now. We are good friends though and we help each other with each other's car. We both have VERY different driving styles. He's kamakazi and likes the tail to come around at every corner. I like to dive deep into corners and really get onto the brakes and I'm smoother through slaloms and esses.

Well the rice worked except on one run where I think I hit the cone with the canards Took 1st place by over 2 seconds. SUPER FAST course. Plus got lots of odd stares from people looking at my front bumper

You get that close? That's amazing. I can maybe control it to within 8-12 inches.

if you aren't just barely missing the cones then you aren't driving fast enough.

if you are 12 inches away from the cones in 5 cone slalom you lose approximately 1-1.5 seconds in that section alone because of how much more you deflect away from the fastest line.
