Why am I in D class? Supposed to be E, should be F with the Auto.

Chaser350Z · 10-10-2010, 05:24 PM

Yeah I've stopped doing fun runs in my own car because it only pissed me off since I'd usually keep getting faster and faster. :-\

Hmm.. I doubt the over 9000 horsepower RX-7 was supposed to be in D class. Would gotten 3rd place evil

Chaser350Z · 10-10-2010, 07:17 PM

Seriously. ha Took zach's advise of leaving it in 2nd and cut almost 2 seconds off.

Really dont know why i thought 1st the whole time was a good idea. ha

ha Whats CC1's top speed is 1st?

**Clemsons2k** · 10-10-2010, 08:14 PM

I used first the whole time. Second would have had no power at all.

dave99rt · 10-10-2010, 08:25 PM

well, the good thing for autocross is that power can be quite irrelevant.
especially in a small course like Saturday.

unless your car did over 50 in 1st or was way underpowered, 2nd gear was the way to go.

i ran the entire course in 2nd gear in a car with 150 whp and 130 ft-lbs.

a 1st gear downshift was definitely understandable in the huge loop, besides that, 2nd gear was the proper gear if your 2nd gear ranged from 55 to 75 mph.
i saw no major difference in my times in 3 fun runs downshifting to 1st gear in the loop.

my car does around 38 in 1st gear and 64 in 2nd.
my peak speed on the course was 39.7 mph

unless you are underpowered, driving around the course at over 75% of your redline doesn't produce a composed vehicle.

**300zmankellan** · 10-10-2010, 08:36 PM

^^ same. My second tops at 78 mph. no engine braking does suck though.

gimpstang · 10-10-2010, 08:47 PM

second in the jetta is somewhere in the 45 - 47 mph range.

yeah i have a short gear. Smile

lucky...ha

***humjaba*** · 10-10-2010, 09:10 PM

My fastest runs in the mustang were both in 1st gear... Never hit the redline before saturday. Oh well, at least I know it works now.

My fun run in CC1 was a 40.25 (first time ever driving the car, first time ever driving a car w/out power steering).. Definitely going to be driving it next time.

this is probably a retarded question, but are these "trophies" like an actual, tangible thing? just curious.
