I went back to DogStar today and had Grace video (thanks, Grace!) since I didn't have any recent footage of Jonah. I'll let you see for yourself but I'm pretty pleased. The second run he was just running faster. I wanted to compare different handling methods, but I think most things I did the second time would have been faster just since he was a little more amped for some reason. Here are the time comparisons, although my watch probably isn't reliable at the level of tenths of a second:
So, it was surprising that my second handling scheme, with three rear crosses and a post turn instead of a Ketschker, was faster. It's good to watch, though. It does make me think I should be less afraid of rear crosses. I think of them as demotivating, but he drives ahead nicely and sometimes they are a good decision.
