Yes indeed - that's where we were yesterday, although we were
going the length of the lot, not "across the lot" like the
Pro Solos have done. I had never noticed much of a slope on
that lot in that direction, but you're right there is a bit of
a slope away from the grandstands and down toward the grassy
area. I guess if I engaged Autostart whill parked in grid a
bit sideways to the course, this might be part of the problem.

Well, all eight of our runs are "screwed up the same" or
at least a close approximation thereof, so I've got that
part covered. <grin>

I appreciate the insight; I'll try to be more careful about
getting the car level when engaging Autostart I guess.
This brings up a question though, does anyone know if cube
placement within the car has a big effect? I've tried to
mount my cube as near to the center of the car as I could,
but in a spot that won't get wet when it rains (this is an
open roadster with no top or windshield). I needed to find
a good level spot, so the best place that I could come up
with was to mount it near to the top of the fuel cell near
the front edge. Does this seem like it might be a problem?
Thanks for all your help, folks,
