Re: Re: [ST] For all, donuts, pegs, and technique



Steve,

Correct response would have been, Nice path of travel, Try slowing just a little more before the turn next time and see if it works better.....  Or something to that effect..  

The ERC is a good way to clear out the winter cobwebs if you can get in an early class..
