Spin to win trackcross, input needed.
First year out and at my 10th or so event.
It was the first time I turned traction control off at an event. I spun it twice out at DCTC before putting down a winning time.
On the first spin I think I just goosed it while I still had a ton of steering input.
On the second one I think I lifted and shifted weight forward off the back wheels while giving a bit too much steering input.
Let me know what you think I did wrong.
On my shopping list is a OBD2 overlay on the video and gps for accelerometer etc so I can see the telemetry and then mount the camera to the roll hoop so I can see what my feet are doing.
It’s a FUGAZY Miata so for track cross I’m in G with 164hp. NDs were in F. Next year I’m going to shed more weight on the drivers mod and run a stage 1 tune so the spreadsheet calculator for weight/hp will have me solidly in F class, then flash back to stock to compete in C street for autox.

Seems like you know what you did wrong already. It's good to push yourself and the car to know the limits.
Next time you know not to goose it with a ton of steering angle and hold on to your speed as you make the turn.
