Mark,
yeah, I decided to just do 40psi all around and learn to make the
best of it. I turned disappointing numbers at first but then I finally
broke into the 36 second range (Too bad I did it in the fun run). It feels
good to progressively improve throughout the day. Yesterday I learned that
smoothess IS the key like everyone has been telling me. So now I mix my
runs with some smooth serious driving and some fun wreakless driving!
BTW, yesterdays track was fun (but short)!
Larry
