So far tonight I got a 89.5 I'm sure I can get it under 85 with a few more tries.

Easy 94.5, and no dogs were injured in the achieving of this score. Its a big spot, go nose first....

Sure makes you appreciate the mini, the bug is MUCH harder.

OK..... now it's 47.4

Are you guys using the space bar as the brake? It helps a ton and keep the car rolling while turning, then brake hard.

You've got to be at 19 seconds or lower by the time you finish the first two. The second one should only take about 7 seconds.

And once you feel you are IN the parking spot, slam the brake so you don't have to wait for the car to roll to a stop.

Wow! I gotta 65 last night and then see this thread. Very impressive Curt. I'm heading out to the garage to drill some lightening holes in my keys, maybe that will cut some time off.

Thanks for a fun way to end the day, Henry!

I thought it was just your first time through. After 10 minutes of practice, 38.9. The first two can be done in about 13 total and there is a lot of room left, but time for something more productive, like watching paint dry or something :wink:

Just curious of technique? On the first, go forward left, then backup almost 180 then dive in. On the second, up and left then dive down in reverse. The third I go up and back in, the last, I go down and drive in forward. I need a handbrake to slide it in :lol:

The bigger cars are MUCH harder to even finish.

And this from the parking lot king.

Which by the way, is a much nicer term than the one Curt now calls him at racetracks :twisted: , besides old and slow of course :lol:
