I agree completely. Our typical "slalom" (3-5 cones) consists of
acceleration past the first 1-2 cones, maybe one lifting/braking point in
the middle and then acceleration from that point out. The divisional (and
from what y'all are saying, Round 9), presented a whole new exercise.
I am curious what (successful) methods others use for long slaloms? One
fast G Stock driver at the divisional suggested trying one speed that was a
bit slower than "max", run most of the slalom at that speed and then
accelerate out of the slalom. Sounded reasonable, but I only got to try it
on my last Sunday run. Up to that point I had been going "max" for a couple
of cones and then adjusting (braking, lifting), then back to "max", etc. A
true downward spiral... : )
