[Shotimes] Autocrossed the Sho

[Paul L Fisher]

What I learned at Gingerman last year was keep the gas floored for just a
few ticks longer than you think you should and then lay on the brakes to get
you around the corner.

My 1st ride was with Dave Kegel and as he was doing 100 MPH to the 90 degree
corner and wasn't letting up, my life flashed before my eyes because I was
in a Taurus. After we made it around that corner, I remembered he had really
big front brakes!

Anyhow, as someone else said, try to be 100% throttle, 100% brake or 100%
steering at all times.

Dind't use the brakes either.  I hit the gas to go, let off the gas to slow
down.

Will try again next weekend.  If it smells then, I will get my mechanic to
see how much life it has yet.  I do not know when the clutch was put in, and
the car has 120k miles, so it might be a few months away from failing under
normal conditions.  Not looking forward to that bill.

> Are you sure it was clutch and not brakes you are smelling?

Thank all for the help!
