As much as I may not like the big cracked pavement seams and the weeds that grow out of them at a few of our area courses, one of the few good things about our auto-x locations is that they are pretty flat if you don't count these minor imperfections and the occasional pothole.

I'm not suggesting he stiffen his dampening for the sake of his springs or verticle wheel movement, I'm suggesting he minimises his chassis movement via dampening since its not like his wheels are going to be moving up and down more than a few millimeters at most auto-xes around here.

That being the case I say full stiffness FTW.

Its not like the kid needs to start learning in some handicapped mode. The kid probably has much to learn, but sheesh, its not like he needs to leave his car in its least competitive state to do so.
