Hey,
The other day I went out in my red and white "S" and I found a few pathches of snow. I started to try to spin it and after a while I got better, but it is still hard. I also was trying some bootlegger turns (Start in reverse and spin it forward and go) and that was even harder. Once you figure it out it is a lot of fun, you should try it.

 

Nice work! I was out a couple of weeks ago, and posted this.. you might enjoy.

Nice,
Try to pull a 180 and start going the other way, just use the E brake. Did you try any bootlegger turns?

 

Yeah, I did a lot of E-braking, once you get it sliding, its pretty easy to keep it fish-tailing back and fourth. I did one big donut in reverse, and actually have a video of it if your intersted, went around 6 times. To get the backwards ones started, i put the e-brake up, cut the wheel, let the gas fly, and then let the brake go, and find a spot to hold the wheel that keeps me spinnin. fun stuff!

 

Hey,
Thanks for the tip, I need to try that, and yes if possible I would like to see the video, Thanks.

 

I will put it up on this page tomorrow, im in dialup at home, no bandwidth!

when you say bootleger do you mean like a j turn you go in reverse then you turn you r wheel sharp and step on the brakes i dont think you do know that i think of it but you should try it cause the front spins around and if you do it right it does a 180

 

Yup, that is what I'm talking about, but you don't even have to hit the brake, just go fast in reverse and then sharply turn the wheel, while in the middle of the 180 slam it into first gear and once all the way around hit the gas and go. :smile: :smile: :smile:

 

Yeah, that's the G-Men/Secret Service maneuvar

 

Hey,
Anyone else have any pictures. I just thought that it would be cool if anyone had any tips or pictures.

 

For kicks, i added the video of the reverse donut, see my link above called videos.
Cheers!

Hey,
When you were racing your mini what RPM did you start at? and what state are you in, elevation?

 

around 3,500 rpm. I am in Illinois, the track is up in wisconsin 2 hour drive away, and the elevation here is a measly 650ft above sea level.
