Above: Unable to compete during that pesky break-in period, this

which has made choreographing an autocross much, much simpler.

Right:  The trained eye will note the rear wheels beginning to overtake the front wheels.
Rear wheels select their own line
Getting it back on line Left:  Nothing a seasoned instructor can't straighten back out.

Right:  Post ride ... doesn't look too scared.  Probably destined to re-offend.
