Whatever works best with your car is the "right" way. I can't speak from any experience with rear drive, live-axel, or front driver cars, but with an IRS Corvette, once you're in the slalom, I think

Or, maybe you start the clocks with your rear wheels and finish with your fronts. Now, how about that one? Any way, if you're only a tenth or two behind (the time it takes to drive the length of your

Agreed. Unfortunately, the SECOND most frequent mistake made in slaloms, especially extended ones, is to go in slow and get "comfortably" up to speed around the third or fourth cone. If it's a const

Tape tin or aluminum foil discs over the wheels. Fill the tires with helium.

with my cars ive found it is better to go in fast and scrub off speed with the front (turned) tires than try to speed up within the slalom and get progressively more out of control. that is, dive in

I'd always assumed that the idea was to lift going around the cones to get some rotation, then power out, then lift into the next cone. Or is it the other way around (lift on the straights, power on

Well, if the Posi *doesn't* work, then you can blame it instead =P. One of Kevin's point makes sense though, it would be neat to see that length slalom with a very fast sweeper immediatly proceeding

You know you don't even have to take a wider line and not lift if you're in an MGB. This what underpowered really is. =) Arie

Smoothness is the key with a little shot of gas at each cone when you get ahead of the slalom. In any event, stay off the brakes after the initial set up for the first cone! (I don't left foot brake
