I waited my turn, got in and set about to go around the course. I hit two cones almost right away, which blew me out of the running, so I gunned it and spun the tires, causing the car to slide, et cetera. The ignition was wired to a remote control as is used for RC airplanes, and they cut off the juice to the ignition instantly. I was stopped in a fraction of a second. The car was not damaged.
