    Traction

    Its something we didn't get back in the day with yoko110s and some people bemoaned the coming of slicks.

    But I love the feeling of traction. Its something you get on a kart track. I was at Ruapuna just the meet before but Kaitoki and slicks is something else. Lent over a silly amount, braking late in and gas on early boots scraping.
    The tight corner with the secret banked groove to rail you around.

    Traction. Fanfriggingtastic.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Meh, I don't like coffee.

    Its the slow speed around ridiculously tight corners and what you can get away with, with modern (even 2d hand) tyres on a good surface on a warm day.

    Okay I'd had a few drinks, but that feeling resounds still. Love that feeling.

    Concur. Registering the horizon at a very bizarre angle.
