86 5ktq in rally cross!

[Brady Moffatt]

Uh, you kinda want those back brakes to work if you're going to be rotating
the car at all.

Not that I'm an expert or anything of the sort, but I've found that THE
biggest factor involved is weight transfer. If you can get as much weight as
possible on the front end by braking or maybe just lifting, you will find
that the car actually steers. The weight transfer is not immediate either.
Feels kinda weird waiting for the front to load up so you can steer. And of
course, if the front is loaded, then the back isn't, right? Rotate!!!

Also, on exiting corners, I think it's better to unwind the steering a bit
too soon than too late. You'll be much faster, a bit wide, maybe, but you're
less likely to spin, and it'll look cooler 'cuz your wheels will be pointed
straight.

Remember what you paid for this advice.

Enjoy! Are there snowbanks at your track?

Cheers,
Brady

>Yellow stickers AND q-list stickers? You'll be unbeatable!

That AND Q-list stickers on the second Audi (90 Q), for now supporting
vehicle, who knows, may become the secret weapon once we get there.  See
if the Torsen will be a biting spyder or what - hopefully didn't anger
the Audi gods with the T-word.

If I may ask 2 questions:
- Any secret tips on driving the Audi(es) fast on the ice?  We know it
plows and have to turn in early, what else?
- Would the tech inspectors worry too much about the rear rotors being
less than shiny?

Any other advice re: rally cross will be welcome, too

TIA,
Tihol
