Oh, yes, another part of the course that I found interesting and fun was in the afternoon course, where we shortened the left turn after that big first, opening up sweeper to the left ... getting high in 2nd gear with the S2000, backing off the gas and trail-braking rotated the rear to the right and then getting on the throttle lightly balanced the car (transferred weight to the rear wheels, thus giving them traction), much like a teeter totter is what it felt like).  Back off a bit at that point and weight would transfer to the front, giving the front more traction ... back and forth, finding that proper balance. .... good fun.   :)

Unfortunately I had to choose between one or the other.  My tires are very close to the wear bars and I have yet to purchase winter tires so I cannot afford to wear these tires down any further.   But I had a great partial season and can't wait to jump in next season.

I won't have winter tires until November and need these tires to last until then, corded tires don't get me to work, or back home.
