Yes we know Kent can drive slow. He was pulling a Tunnel/Ames in the
Pro, just go fast enough to win, but slow enough that he got a head start on
me in the challenge with an SS index. ;>

I can suggest what NOT to do. If I try to drive
conservative-and-clean, it typically turns out to be
clean-and-dog slow and the run is wasted anyway. On
the North course, I ran conservatively, but I though
respectably, on my first run. I was just flat-out
slow. My second run, when I drove angry :-), was 2.6
seconds faster than my first run. I'm going to tape
the first run timeslip to my dashboard to remind me
that if I'm in total control of the car on course and
confident I'm not going to hit any cones, I'm driving
WAY too slow.....
