That's what happens when you spend most of your time in the turns going sideways.Curt wrote: 4 heat cycles later, my back ones are totally corded.

They are great for learning and basic seat time but I find big tracks and AX's much more challenging. With limited free time, the QDE's are out for me
Plus, the lack of competition from the 'true' AM makes them extra boring

Our present requirements seem too stringent especially for the Boxsters and Cabriolets. While I feel that the risks go up slightly from autocross to QDE, the parking lot is overall a very safe venue. It is also small enough that fire extinguishers are not needed and the risk of rollovers is also very small, and probably no greater than the risks seen in autocross. Requiring a fire extinguisher and 5 points and roll bar extensions precludes almost all of the Boxsters from trying the QDE's.
Willow Springs, California Speedway, Buttonwillow and other big track are another story. But we should allow drivers to try out the continuous lapping events at the Q.
