A big leap. 
this is good, at least now he can push a little and experiment on the autox without the mental aspect of his dad being there in the car. Def. better than learning that kind of car control on the street.

Those corded tires must have slowed you down, or it was considerably warmer in the afternoon. I think Mac got into the high 47s on his dead rears.

My times
51.095
49.492
49.574 w/passenger
48.821
Fun Runs
49.272 was a bit too aggressive and had fuel starvation problems
49.147 went a bit smoother but still sideways
57.184 bouncing off the rev limiter roasting tires and towards the finish had to drive it between two cones to prevent from hitting any.
48.860 more fun and tried not to go off course
47.957 kept the car in check for a better time and somehow the car had a little push going around one of the left hand sweepers
I was surprised how well the bilsteins felt going through the esses. They actually transition very well and free up the suspension compared to the overly stiff KW's. I like the fact that I don't get a false sense of spring rate as you do with the KW's. Not that the KW's are bad or anything, I just prefer the bilsteins way of damping I guess.
I should have the AD07's for the next event so I'll be able to see how those stack up to the Dunlops. The AD08's felt great on the mini so hopefully they're close and if they are then I'll be happy.

I might just come along for ride-alongs and lunch too cheerleading if you will. I'll do on-course photography if any of you have a dslr with a decent lens you want to lend me -- i no longer haver any gear.
