Disabling ALL the nannies...

[MacRaptor]

Took a LOT longer than I wanted but I finally had my Winter Autocross! It was amazing! We had a big snow storm (18") here on Wednesday so Lime Rock organized a winter autocross for Saturday. There was some melt and compression but when we started, there was a good 10-12" of powder on the course. I only managed to get one short clip of my truck and it's very lame because most of the snow was already gone from the course but you get the idea. Here you go:

I need this I my life haha! Looks like a blast.

What modes did you run?
We got rain in my mountains do went for a turn on the control roads and had th nannys kick in and cut power quite a bit in Baja mode 2 wheel drive, I got half way through my doughnut in the mud and it cut throttle or something... I thought it had just got too much traction and pulled out but it did it quite a bit on me when I tossed it into the corners and tried to gass it up and out. It made it but not like a reckless banshee that I wanted (a little too sideways for the computer I guess). Any way to just let me drive with out any intervention? Seems so far the best result I have had was sport mode, hold traction control button and hit it once before or after( can't re bed the sequence at the moment).

Ha ha...it wasn't a competition per se. I wasn't trying to drive fast, I was trying to slide around. We had 4-5 cars on the course at a time and I don't think anyone was riding my bumper, ever.

Indeed it was! I was running in Baja mode, switching from 2WD to 4WD occasionally. I also had issues with bogging and used the 10 second press on the button to disable all the nannies. Seemed to work well.

I rec'd another (super short) clip from someone who was standing on the sidelines. It better illustrates the speeds involved. Check it out:
