Felt likedriving on butter at AX event. What I should have done?
I had my 10 AX event in the last two years. North Country PCA puts on some awesome events. 8 runs on a course utilizing the entire airfield (best times were in 75seconds range). Four cars on the track at the same time, so you barely had time to regroup in your mind, since you had to queue up right after your run.

On my last run in the afternoon (4 in the afternoon part) it felt like I was driving on butter. Tires weren't gripping at all.
My fronts got up to about 39 in pressure and backs were 43.
Was my tire pressure the culprit?

1st and 2nd runs were nice. 3rd was getting mushier. 4th was no fun.

I was running stock Michellin PS2s.
