actually, i would guess that the picture was taken right after teh sharp left after you get done with the pivot. b/c the next car is till waiting at the start. if it was the slalom, the next car would be on it's way already. not to mention that the blue mustang in the picture is pointed pretty straight. in a slalom, you're never ever have teh wheels pointed straight for longer than 1 nanosecond.

you know once you take the pivot cone and you have to slow down a little to that eh sharp dip left and then sharp right through the bus - stop. well, i think this picture was taken just before the mustang driver began turing right for the bustop.
