Thanks.
OK - that makes me feel better. I still have a lot to learn about more acceleration, the limits of the tires, and hard braking. I did learn to brake hard for those clamshells, in order to transfer weight to the front so I could steer harder. I would over-do that, though, and brake too hard causing me to plow through the wall of cones. Let's just say I put people to work that day picking up cones
