Default PCA Autocross Race Video. 4/26/2015.

This is my first event on my new Bridgestones 71r tires. My car is classed A street, but today I had 10.5 wheels on the front. 275 square. There is no rules when racing with PCA for X class. These tires feel and race just like Hoosiers. Just like usual, PCA had a great event. 2nd. overall out of 90 cars. I got beat by a Porsche 911 on Hoosiers R7's. by .012. If I only shifted into 3rd. That was close.

Good job!
I think all you needed was a little more air in the rear to create a slightly larger diameter lol

You were on the rev limiter for about 2 seconds....
I don't think a shift to 3rd, and then back to 2nd for the finish would have
gained you anything. It may even cause you to lose a bit.

Good job.

Good job.
Thanks. I was playing it safe, but I still think it would have been faster. I should have tried it.
