    All of the above will help for sure, but seat-time will always be the key. Especailly with a new car. Yeah, your tires are alittle on the tall & wide for the Hondas ride height. I got a set of 155/13 on 4x100 I could bring out to next event. You could run them and see how it feel before you go changing you tire set up. It also didnt help in the morning starting uphill in the wet....

      I'd agree with everything said here....practice, practice, practice.... Get the grippiest tires you can find on the front and let the rear just be there. Narrow is better than wide. With limited grip like this event, slow in is always better. I never could get the hang of that, but it works when you do it right. Slow down early, plan to do your regular apex thing, knowing that you will push wide, and try to do your best to get it right.

      Left foot braking takes some getting used to, but it works well to transfer weight to the front for turn in. However, you can lock up the brakes really easily, so watch for that. It does work well when you suddenly drop the throttle as well. This will help the rear come around well if you do it right, but it takes a LOT of practice! Hand brake when you have something really tight and/or you want to keep the throttle open and still get the rear around.

        Bryon, I appreciate the offer but my stock sized Winterforces should be here tomorrow. Company was nice and called to make sure I wanted snow tires in Alabama in March.

        Some other guys I've talked to also mentioned not worrying about snows on the rear, that's it's better to let the rear rotate quickly rather than stick.
