I learned it’s not an on/off pedal, in my talon i was on the throttle 100% or off it completely, i had no throttle control at all. > > No offense here but you need to start winning the class that your in consistantly for maybe a whole year at actual SCCA events (not just north hills) and actual drift events not just beaver drift practices.
