Richard, When you get your G running as it should you'll find that all you need to do a "power slide" mentioned in question 2 is to do this in unison: punch the accelerator and turn the wheel either direction - you will do power slides until the tires burn off the rims. Do not attempt to apply the emergency brake while turning the wheel and accelerating as it is depressed with the left foot and disengaged by hand with the pull lever. Remember, you are not driving an underpowered front wheel drive car where it is necessary to lock the e-brake to make it spin out. As the tv car commercials say in their disclaimer - "professional driver on a closed course - do not attempt on your own." Just punch it and turn the wheel !!!!!! ENJOY...... Del Kerney
