perhaps there is a difference between AX and the skidpad. it is the skidpad G's that i am remembering.

She put it under the control of someone who wanted to run it while she was away with the baby and all in Hawaii, and Pittsburgh, well the wombat was never there, never opened it and Beth finally just decided to move the frigging store to my house, I mean close it down.

It was a consignment store, best part is now we have to get all of the stuff back to the people who want it back. We have already made some HUGE donations with a lot of the clothes and things that people didn't want. But that still doesn't help my poor house and I have company coming next week.

I must have not been trying hard enough as I didn't have any problems in that corner. I did however seem to not be able to make a single lap without dinking at least one cone. Again, maybe I just was't pushing hard enough for the rear to slide out a little turning in on the slaloms.

Stijn!!

I suspect the skidpad numbers are a constant and my numbers are just a quick peak. I doubt I can pull a constant 1 G on a skidpad. But it still cool
