^ Those came out great. I definitely need to work on my slow shutter speed shooting. I think this one is too much blur though. It looks like he’s going to warp speed. 🙂 [![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3211/2605744218_f651c514ea_o.jpg) ](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3211/2605744218_f651c514ea_o.jpg) ---

> [@chino](#): > > for some reason on both of our cars the PS was shitting the bed in the final turns… it was REALLY annoying. Mine did the same thing at the end of almost every run. I’ve got one of those stupid electric power steering booster that runs out of reserve pressure if you have to really get on it… and then it kicks back in without any warning. easy easy easy - hard (oh shit!) hard hard - easy (oh shit again!) easy easy ---

For many it was probably a problem of not having quite enough boos as Tim said, if you didn’t downshift for the finish, maybe next time you should give it a try and see if that helps. ---

Or you could try and rev the engine while slipping the clutch a little, assuming you have a belt driven PS pump. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/6-21-wny-solo-event-4-batavia-gokart-track-saturday/50068.md?page=3)
