Summary

This week I spoke to Tyler Gibson, someone I have interacted with for a decade at different Good Guys autocross events...but have never really met. I've watched he and his sister utterly dominate while running their Scout II, and couldn't get over how it was always dialed into the track while simultaneously being aimed with the nose and steered with the tail. I love Tyler's driving style as well (all out) and decided it was finally time to learn how they've done it! It turns out....the car events were (and are) just a chance for the family to hang out together!

Essentially, under acceleration, the rear-end squats,

under braking the rear-end also squats.

So it makes it probably much more competitive than it should be.
