I thought I would stiffen up my front Koni's slightly just to be safe and leave the rear's the same.

I'd just leave them alone if I were you and wait until you get some time and space to think about what the car is doing and adjust from there.

Re: Track event settings.
Had an absolute BLAST in Group 2... sunday afternoon sessions were awesome, checked out and played tag with a 350hp 944 turbo on race tires. Nevermind my occasionally-dorifto line into T1 trying to scoot the back end around to get the gas on early! Fritz Flynn is a really awesome instructor, great communication skills and very precise analysis. Taught me some really good places to use an abrupt brake release to squirt the rear around turns to make the most of the AWD corner exit traction.

a few pics to enjoy
I had fun too!!!! My instructor asked me if I wanted to go to Group 2 considering I never gave a single passing sign the whole time but I figured maybe there was still a lot for me to learn in Group 1... focusing on the basics.
hope to see more people at the next one!
