This show is all about Autocross Slaloms where you can hear the tips and techniques from some of the fastest people in autocross.

Bob and Patty Tunnell  Slalom Tips

  • Turn Early (turn out of phase aka turn early)
  • Pay attention to the 1st cone
  • Don't late apex the last cone, just avoid it
    • Late apex less and less toward the end if fast toward the end
    • Bonus: Universal Truth - turns over 120 degrees the shortest line is the fastest 99.9% of the time

      • Brian Peters Slalom Tips

      • Best quote "If I'm hitting the brake in a slalom something bad is happening typically"
      • Set the speed for the slalom when tucking in the first cone.
      • Slaloms are a place you can find 80 feet of acceleration by staying ahead in them
      • Look 3 or 4 cones into the slalom

        • Julian Garfield Slalom Technique

        • Come into the Slalom under control keeping the acceleration and braking at a minimum.
        • First cone is very important
        • That fourth cone gets hit when you are lazy on the first cone.

          • Leslie Cohen Slalom Tips

          • Slow down a slalom cone ahead of the slalom
          • You want to drive the slalom
          • See the whole slalom
          • Come out of the slalom accelerating
          • Who you listen to is important
          • Draw arcs to see where you car will be

            • Tom Berry Slalom Tips

            • Learned a ton from Data Acquisition
            • Settle the car before entering any turn
            • Present the car to the slalom
            • Have moderate acceleration going into the slalom
            • Come off the brake really smoothly

              • Ron Williams Slalom Tips

              • Have an attack mentality - Be on your toes
              • Attack the back side of the cones
              • Aggressive on steering inputs - turn the wheel as fast as you can.

                • Jason Frank Slalom Tips

                • Start at the beginning of the slalom
                • Late Apex, Late Apex, Late Apex
                • Keep a steady state (you've heard this a few times already)
                • Accelerate out the backside
                • Every once in a while his plan to slow before entering doesn't work
