Poor handling: Have you checked your air pressure lately?

I know this is a rookie mistake but it never hurts to be reminded.
I took the car out for a spirited run on Saturday after a month or two of rest. Handling was sloppy. Well, before I went out today I realized that I hadn't checked my tire pressures lately. Surprise! Both front and rears were down from 2-5 psi! Handling was much tighter today (well, duh!).
The moral of the story for all you weekend warriors like myself: don't forget the tire pressure guage.

You could notice a huge handling difference when you changed your tire pressures only 2-5 psi?

You can notice a difference (on the track) of 1/2 lb or less in pressure.
