How did you do against other cars in your class?

I always AutoX with the TC off, but I have yet to pull the fuse for a proper disabling, some of the turns are so tight, you must spin the back around to be quick, but John is correct, usually if you are spinning, you are losing time. It is wild though, when we did our last driving school, two of the instructors, both national level AutoXers, have totally different schools of thought. One said if you can hear tire and spinning, time is being lost, another pushed his car so hard, there was seldom a time he wasn't spinning or drifting through a turn. Damn near equal times, consistently between the two, but 2 completely different styles.

Find your style, get comfortable with the car, and it is a very fun low risk activity that gets the adrenaline flowing.
