PCA Autocross Video. 5/22/2016.
I've been called a Conservative driver. When in doubt, error on the side of going slow. It has worked for me many times. But I decided to see what the other side is like. More aggressive, and when in doubt, push the right pedal more. I can say this, its diffenetly more fun. 3rd. overall in street tires. 64.1

Hey Steve - always fun to watch and learn from you at the track. Question for you, as good as you are at getting out of the corner, on the gas and hitting the rev limiter do you think you might benefit from a little better gearing on these larger courses?
Personally every time I try going to 3rd I lose time.

Thanks. 315/30/18 square.
It's really a toss up. A higher gear will hurt you in the slow corners. I'd like to raise the rev-limiter higher then 6800, but not sure how long I can get away with that. Could just shift into 3rd. but these cars don't shift fast or easy. In this particular instance, I couldn't really go any faster anyway. The car was some what loose already.
Thanks. The housing project is closing in.
