Road Course Slalom

Post by Asylum »

It seeems there is some interest so I'll throw it out here.

Anyone interested in using a small portion of the road course time for a slalom?

The front straight away is quite long, and I'm sure I can come up with enough cones. (Human cones? "Hold very still and STOP CRYING!")

Maybe I can even find a couple prizes.

Comments welcome

LMAO

I wouldn't mind trying this out... I know my car will get tested on the road course alone so this will just add some more fun into it and see how a base front sway bar with Z26 rear axle and Z51 bar in the rear handles... Sounds like a *** snapping combination.  Over steer here I come?

Hmm... that might be interesting... I've never slalom'd before though. Hopefully I wouldn't eat any (human) cones

Yeah is there more seconds added if you take out one of the human cones vs a normal one?

Why do you have to take the fun out of it?

Does anyone know how many cones are on a typical slalom?

I'm thinking 8-10.

There's lots of room so that won't be a problem.
