Smooth driving in autox is yet another animal.. Over and over again you =
hear that smooth driving is key in autox as well as track. Watch a good =
autocrosser like Raphael "Silk" Garces. It looks very smooth from the =
paddock.
Then get in the car. I have driven autox courses with 2 national =
champions, Neil Sapp and Mark Daddio(sp?). (Never drove with Raphael) It =
is NOT smooth from inside the car! In fact, it is almost violent -- late =
braking (but still not stabbing the pedal), hard acceleration, etc. But =
it sure looks smooth from the outside
Lesser autocrossers do not look smooth from the outside. I don't want to =
know what it feels like from the passenger seat.
Its a tricky concept.
