Rotating x axis labels in R for barplot

Solution
EDITED ANSWER PER DAVID'S RESPONSE:
Here's a kind of hackish way. I'm guessing there's an easier way. But you could suppress the bar labels and the plot text of the labels by saving the bar positions from `barplot` and do a little tweaking up and down. Here's an example with the mtcars data set:
x <- barplot(table(mtcars$cyl), xaxt="n")
labs <- paste(names(table(mtcars$cyl)), "cylinders")
text(cex=1, x=x-.25, y=-1.25, labs, xpd=TRUE, srt=45)
Problem
I am trying to get the x axis labels to be rotated 45 degrees on a barplot with no luck. This is the code I have below: ``` barplot(((data1[,1] - average)/average) * 100, srt = 45, adj = 1, xpd = TRUE, names.arg = data1[,2], col = c("#3CA0D0"), main = "Best Lift Time to Vertical Drop Ratios of North American Resorts", ylab = "Normalized Difference", yaxt = 'n', cex.names = 0.65, cex.lab = 0.65) ```
