Not at the 8:20, I was just trying to keep the wheels rotating for some control with as little speed as possible. I had to get off the brakes and put on some throttle to get the wheels to rotate.

I did use it in a couple of places but the tires didn't bite through the slippery stuff enough for it to work properly. I've used it on a short slippery test hill and it completely failed and I just slid down with wheels locked up. So I was reluctant to rely on it.

Yep, only works when you have traction.

Congrats on the potential new offer, let us know if you do make it this way

With Carl and Madrax along it would be great to play with some other AJOR members.
I'll be watching out for this if it falls on my days off I could be in.
